CATALYST, METHOD FOR PREPARATION THEREOF, AND SYNTHESIS GAS GENERATION PROCESS Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC B01J23/84 B01J32/00 B01J23/78 B01J35/04 B01J37/02 C01B3/26 

FIELD: alternative fuels.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to autothermal conversion of hydrocarbon fuel to produce synthesis gas, which can be used in chemical production, for burning at catalytic heat plants, and in hydrogen power engineering. Proposed catalyst contains, as active components, cobalt oxide, manganese oxide, and barium oxide, and, as carrier, refractory reinforced metalporous carrier. Catalyst is prepared by impregnation of carrier with barium and manganese salt solution at Ba/Mn =5:4 followed by drying, calcination, impregnation with cobalt salt solution, drying, and calcination. Invention further describes generation of synthesis gas via autothermal conversion of hydrocarbon fuel performed utilizing above-described catalyst.

EFFECT: enabled catalyst exhibiting high heat conductivity, high activity in production of synthesis gas, and resistance to coking and deactivation with sulfur compounds present in diesel fuel and gasoline.
