Structured catalysts for combined oxidative reforming of C1-4-alkanes to synthesis-gas

Area of applications

The catalysts can be used for producing synthesis gas (with regulated ratio H2/CO = 1–3) by combined O2–CO2–H2O reforming of natural gas (methane and its homologues) for subsequent synthesis of ammonia, methanol, diethyl ether and Fischer-Tropsch synthesis.

Brief description

Highly efficient monolithic catalyst of honeycomb structure with low content of the active component and low gas dynamic resistance allows carrying out the combined process of oxidative conversion of С14 alkanes to produce syngas with a range of ratio H2/CO – from 1 to 3 with high selectivity concerning target products including in conditions close to the autothermal regime.

Expected results

Optimization of technology for producing synthesis gas and hydrogen by combined O2–CO2–H2O reforming of methane and its homologues.

Advantages

Proposed methane tri-reforming process is characterized by high yields of hydrogen, reduced energy consumption for the syngas production (as compared with the industrial process of steam reforming), the possibility of varying the ratio of H2/CO and use of greenhouse as well as waste gases as feedstock.
Designed catalysts are characterized by high output, resistance to coking, low gas dynamic resistance, wide operating temperature range (500–1000°C), an absence of the precious metals within catalyst composition.

Competitors

At the moment, competitive analogues for developed structured catalysts for tri-reforming of methane and its homologues are not known in Europe and the CIS.

Project development

Optimum composition (loadings of the main components, the secondary carrier and modifying additives) as well as a method of catalyst preparation are defined.
