CATALYST AND METHOD OF PRODUCING SYNTHETIC GAS Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC B01J23/10 B01J21/06 B01J23/40 B01J23/83 B01J23/63 B01J23/89 C01B3/38 

FIELD: chemistry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to production of a catalyst for producing synthetic gas during carbon dioxide conversion of methane. The catalyst for carbon dioxide conversion of methane for producing synthetic gas is a cerium-zirconium based composite support containing one or two metals selected from rare-earth elements such as Pr, Sm, La or any combination thereof; the active component is a platinum group metal selected from Pt or Ru; Pt or Ru with Ni additives; La with Ni additives; La with Ni additives, Pt or Ru, wherein the catalyst has the general formula M₁M₂M₃[A_xB_yCe_0.35Zr_0.35]O₂, where: x equals 0-0.3, y equals 0-0.3, A and/or B are selected from rare-earth metals Pr, La, Sm, Mi is selected from platinum group metals Pt or Ru, M₂ denotes Ni; M₃ denotes La, provided that if content of metal M₁=0, then content of M₂≠0, and if content of M₂=0, then content of M₁≠O. Described is a method of producing synthetic gas during carbon dioxide conversion of methane using the catalyst described above.

EFFECT: high activity of the disclosed catalysts, which enable to conduct carbon dioxide conversion of methane or natural gas at high loads of feeding the reaction mixture, ie, at short contact time.
