VERFAHREN ZUR ERZEUGUNG EINES HEIZGASES DURCH KATALYTISCHE UMSETZUNG VON METHANOL MIT WASSERDAMPF

摘要

Process for producing a methane-containing heating gas by reacting vaporised methanol with water vapour under a pressure of from 10 to 50 bar in at least one reactor which contains a nickel-containing catalyst at inlet temperatures of from 300 to 500 DEG C. Water and liquid methanol are mixed in a weight ratio of from 0.5 to 1.5 and the mixture is heated, vaporised and fed into the reactor as starting material.
