Process for methane synthesis by catalytic reduction of carbon monoxide in aqueous phase

摘要

Process for the catalytic synthesis of methane by reaction of carbon oxides with hydrogen in the presence of liquid water, wherein the catalyst is formed of a carrier consisting either of coal or charcoal, preferably of plant origin, or of alumina-silica, on which is deposited ruthenium, for example by impregnation with ruthenium acetylacetonate, said catalyst being preferably used as particles suspended in water.
