Abstract
The invention relates to supported catalysts and a process for the production of these catalysts. These supported catalysts may be used in various reactions such as reforming reactions (e.g. steam methane reforming (SMR) reactions and autothermal reforming (ATR) reactions). In one aspect of the invention, the supported catalyst comprises a transition metal oxide; optionally a rare-earth metal oxide; and a transition metal aluminate.
Claims61
A supported catalyst comprising:
- a transition metal oxide;
- and
- a transition metal aluminate.
A supported catalyst comprising:
- from about 10% to about 80% by weight of nickel oxide;
- from about 1% to about 10% by weight of lanthanum oxide;
- and
- from about 10% to about 60% by weight of nickel aluminate.
1 more element
A process for making a supported catalyst comprising:
- combining a catalytic active component, a catalyst support optionally containing a promoter therein, and an acid material to form a slurry;
- adjusting the slurry to a pH of about 7 to about 8;
- and
- recovering the supported catalyst from the slurry.
1 more element
A process for making a supported catalyst comprising:
- dispersing a catalytic active component within pores of a catalyst support, wherein the catalyst support optionally contains a promoter therein;
- and
- converting the catalytic active component to an active metal complex intermediate at a pH of about 7 to about 8, the active metal complex intermediate coating surfaces of the catalyst support.
