PRODUCTION OF SYNTHETIC GAS

摘要

PURPOSE:To provide a process for converting carbon dioxide which is a main causal substance for global warming into industrially useful carbon monoxide and hydrogen by using methane as a reducing agent. CONSTITUTION:Carbon monoxide and hydrogen are produced by contacting a gas containing carbon dioxide and methane with a catalyst. The catalyst to be used in the above process is produced by supporting at least one kind of oxide selected from calcium oxide and lanthanum oxide on a heat-resistant oxide and supporting a ruthenium compound on the obtained carrier.
