CATALYST, METHOD FOR PRODUCTION THEREOF AND METHOD OF PRODUCING SYNTHESIS GAS Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC B01J21/04 B01J21/12 B01J23/75 B01J23/755 B01J23/745 B01J23/72 B01J23/83 B01J23/889 B01J23/84 B01J35/08 B01J37/08 B01J37/02 C01B3/28 

FIELD: chemistry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a catalyst for producing synthesis gas during partial oxidation of methane, which is a microspherical support with a deposited active component based on metal oxides, wherein the microspherical support used is aluminium oxide and/or aluminosilicate particles with diameter of 50-160 mcm, and the active component used is an oxide of Co or Ni or Fe or Mn or Cu or Ce or a mixture of oxides NiO, Co₃O₄ and Ce₂O₃, with the following ratio of components, wt %: said active component 2-40, aluminium oxide and/or aluminosilicate - the balance. The invention also relates to a method of producing the catalyst and a method of producing synthesis gas in the presence of the disclosed catalyst.

EFFECT: high specific output of the product, eliminating explosion and ignition hazard, low power consumption, obtaining synthesis gas with H₂/CO ratio in the range of 1,5-2,5, obtaining a by-product - technical nitrogen - with high conversion of methane-containing material.
