A novel family of sulfur-resistant, low-carbon fouling hydrogenation catalysts were discovered by Catalysis Research Corporation for GRI. These catalysts promote the direct methanation reaction in which equal molar concentrations of H/sub 2/ and CO react to produce CH/sub 4/ and CO/sub 2/. IGT evaluated these catalysts. The work performed during 1984 includes the following: Concurrent life tests of the GRI-C-500 and GRI-C-600 catalysts were completed; The steam reforming of a sulfur-containing natural gas using the GRI-C-318 catalyst was conducted; The evaluation of the GRI-C-700A and GRI-C-700B catalysts was completed; The effect of low sulfur concentration in the feed on the life and activity of direct-methanation catalysts was studied; and A set of first-cut design data using an underground coal-gasification-type raw gas was obtained.
