Preparing supported Raney nickel catalysts by dip coating. Report of investigations, 1976

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7117653
The Bureau of Mines is conducting research to develop methanation catalysts for converting synthesis gas derived from coal to synthetic natural gas. The present report describes a method to prepare supported Raney nickel coatings by dipping screen-covered nickel sheet in molten aluminum-nickel alloy. Coatings were formed at 1,050C that were comparable in thickness, composition, microstructure, and catalytic properties to flame-sprayed commercially prepared Raney nickel.
