KATALYSATOR VOOR DE SYNTHESE VAN METHAAN EN ANDERE KOOLWATERSTOFFEN EN ALCOHOLEN, ALSMEDE WERKWIJZE VOOR DE OMZETTING VAN WATERSTOF EN KOOLSTOFOXYDEN MET BEHULP VAN DEZE KATALYSATOR

摘要

Bimetallic alloys 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.
