Deactivation of Raney nickel methanation catalyst

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5202910
The various mechanisms by which nickel methanation catalysts may become deactivated are discussed in detail. The analytical data from spent catalysts removed from pilot-plant-scale reactors are then related to these deactivation mechanisms. These data represent a number of lifetime experiments which have been performed over the past six years.
