PROCESSO COM NOVOS CATALISADORES PARA A SINTESE DE METANO E DE OUTROS HIDROCARBONETOS E ALCOOIS

摘要

CATALYSTS FOR SYNTHESIS OF METHANE AND OTHER HYDROCARBONS AND ALCOHOLS Bi-metallic compounds of iron and titanium are employed as catalysts for combining hydrogen and the oxides of carbon to yield methane, ethane and other hydrocarbons and alcohols. The alloy composition is first activated by treatment with hydrogen gas at elevated temperatures and pressures. Particle size is also reduced by hydriding and dehydriding one or more times.
