SYNTHESIS OF METHANE FROM HYDROGEN AND CARBON MONOXIDE

摘要

Methane is obtained by reacting hydrogen with carbon monoxide in the presence of a catalyst manufactured by reacting a nickel compound with a reducing aluminum compound in the presence of a titanium compound. The aluminum compound is preferably a trialkylaluminum compound and the atomic ratio of aluminum to (nickel + titanium) is preferably from 1/1 to 20/1.
