Synthesis and Study of Metal-Ceolite Catalysts for Steam Conversion of Natural Gas
New catalysts on the basis of natural zeolites - clinoptilolite and mordenite - have been synthesized and investigated during steam conversion of methane. Influence of composition and structure of the support, nature of the applied active component (transition metal), preparation conditions, drying duration and temperature, conditions of baking and subsequent reactivation of the catalyst on yield of synthesis-gas and a methane conversion degree was studied. It is recommended an optimum method of Ni and Co/H-clinoptilolite catalysts preparation with active component content of 15 atomic percent.
