POROUS CERAMIC CATALYTICAL MODULE AND METHOD OF SYNTHESIS GAS PREPARATION IN ITS PRESENCE Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC B01D71/02 C01B3/38 

FIELD: chemistry; processing of hydrocarbon material to synthesis gas.

SUBSTANCE: porous ceramic catalytical module represents the product of exothermic finely dispersed nickel-aluminium mixture exposed to vibration compaction and to sintering. The said product contains: nickel 55.93-96.31 Wt%; aluminium 3.69-44.07 Wt%. Porous ceramic catalytical module may contain up to 20 Wt% (based on the module weight) of titanium carbide as well as catalytic coating including following groups: La and MgO, or Ce and MgO, or La, Ce and MgO, or ZrO₂, Y₂O₃ and MgO, or Pt and MgO, or W₂O₅ and MgO in quantity 0,002-6 Wt% based on the module weight synthesis gas is produced by conversion of methane and carbon dioxide mixture on porous ceramic catalytical module in filtration mode The process conditions are as follows: temperature 450-700°C, pressure 1-10 atm, rate of CH₄-CO₂ mixture delivery to catalytical module 500-5000 l/dm³*hr.

EFFECT: inventions permit to carry out the process at lower temperatures.
