Abstract
The present invention describes a process and catalysts for the conversion of a light hydrocarbon and carbon dioxide input stream into high quality syngas with the subsequent conversion of the syngas into fuels or chemicals. In one aspect, the present invention provides an efficient, solid solution catalyst for the production of a carbon containing gas from carbon dioxide and light hydrocarbons. The catalyst comprises a single transition metal, and the transition metal is nickel.
Claims10
A nickel-based, solid solution catalyst for producing syngas, wherein the solid solution catalyst is not coated on a substrate, and wherein the catalyst is in contact with CO2, CH4 and H2O, and wherein the catalyst is capable of producing syngas with a pre-selected ratio of H2/CO, and wherein the H2/CO ratio is capable of being varied based on the production process used to produce the syngas, wherein the nickel-based, solid solution catalyst comprises only one transition metal, and wherein the transition metal is nickel.
