| 摘要 |
A method for producing synthesis gas (essentially a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide) from a mixture of methane and oxygen comprising partially oxidising the methane by bringing the reactant gas mixture at a relatively low temperature 100{C to 950{C) and at a pressure of up to 150 bar into contact with a defined nickel - aluminium Feitknecht compound/aluminosilicate clay mineral based catalyst. Resulting synthesis gas may be mixed with further oxygen and be further partially oxidised without being subjected to a an intermediate compression stage to produce a second synthesis gas suitable for direct use in a high pressure downstream process for producing a chemical product, such methanol. |
