Lee, A L

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 the period included the following: Evaluated 12 sulfur-resistant catalysts for direct methanation; Obtained design data for the direct methanation process for British Gas Corp./Lurgi Slagging, Lurgi, Westinghouse, Underground Coal, and Shell gasification processes; and Performed life tests of 200 to 10,000 hours.
