Catalyst for the manufacture of gases containing methane. [Al-Ni compounds]

Patent ·
OSTI ID:7357754

A catalyst is produced by the process consisting essentially of precipitating the compound Ni/sub 6/Al/sub 2/(OH)/sub 16/.CO/sub 3/.4H/sub 2/O as a catalyst precursor from an aqueous medium; drying said precipitate at a temperature of from 80 to 180/sup 0/C; raising the temperature of said precipitate between the drying stage and the calcination stage at a gradient of 1.66/sup 0/C/minute to 3.3/sup 0/C/minute; calcining said precipitate at a temperature of from 300 to 550/sup 0/C; and thereafter reducing said precipitate in a stream of hydrogen to form said catalyst.
