Katalysator zur Umwandlung von Kohlenwasserstoffen

摘要

Methane-rich gas is made by reacting steam and a vaporized normally liquid hydrocarbon in the presence of hydrogen and a catalyst comprising NiO or CoO and 3-10% MnO2. The hydrocarbon may contain C3- 10 atoms per mol. and have a boiling point of 100-500 DEG F. Reaction temperature may be 775-900 DEG F. Examples describe the manufacture of gas from naphtha.ALSO:Reforming catalysts comprise 45-60% NiO or CoO and from 3-10% MuO2 or a carrier. The carrier is preferably Al2O3. Additionally the catalyst may contain P2O5. The catalyst before use may be subjected to reduction with hydrogen.
