CATALYST, PREPARATION METHOD THEREOF AND METHOD OF PRODUCING SYNTHETIC GAS FROM SYNTHETIC HYDROCARBON FUEL Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC B01J35/00 B01J37/02 C01B3/38 

FIELD: chemistry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to catalysts for vapour conversion of synthetic fuel. Described is a catalyst for producing synthetic gas via vapour conversion of synthetic hydrocarbon fuel, preferably methanol, characterised by that the catalyst is a catalytic structured block with a gas distribution system consisting of alternating corrugated and flat catalytically active bands which form channels; the catalyst contains copper, zinc, chromium and aluminium compounds as active components, said compounds being in the following amounts, wt %: copper oxide 5-15, chromium oxide 0.4-2.6, zinc oxide 3-16 and aluminium oxide 2-8, reinforced metal porous support - the balance up to 100. Described is a method of preparing said catalyst by depositing active components onto the support by impregnating a heat-resistant reinforced metal porous support with a solution of copper, chromium, zinc and aluminium salts, drying and calcining at 400-450°C, followed by cutting catalytically active bands from the obtained reinforced catalyst and forming the catalyst, which is a catalytic structured block with a gas distribution system consisting of alternating corrugated and flat catalytically active bands which form channels. Described is a method of producing synthetic gas through vapour conversion of methanol using the catalyst described above.

EFFECT: high efficiency of the process of producing synthetic gas.
