THERMAL SHOCK RESISTANT CATALYSTS FOR SYNTHESIS GAS PRODUCTION

摘要

Syngas catalyst compositions supported on refractory ceramic textiles and fibrous ceramic composite catalysts are disclosed, together with their metho ds of making and use for catalyzing syngas production from methane by a net partial oxidation reaction. In certain preferred embodiments the active catalyst material is Rh, Ni, Cr, or combinations thereof. The ceramic textil es may be arranged in a variety of 3-D forms, such as NextelTM or various woven or braided meshes and layers.
