Abstract
A catalytic method for producing gaseous products from a fuel and a gaseous reagent having the steps of: providing a catalyst and the fuel to a reactor vessel such that the catalyst and the fuel are in fluid communication with each other within the reactor vessel, where the catalyst is a mixture of reduced metal oxides; and contacting the fuel and catalyst with the gaseous reagent within the reactor vessel at a reaction temperature to produce gaseous products, where the gaseous reagent contains at least CO2 or H2O, where the fuel comprises a carbonaceous source, and wherein the gaseous products are CO or syngas.
Claims20
A catalytic method for producing gaseous products from a fuel and a gaseous reagent comprising:
- providing a catalyst and the fuel to a reactor vessel such that the catalyst and the fuel are in fluid communication with each other within the reactor vessel, wherein the catalyst comprises a mixture of reduced metal oxides;
- and
- contacting the fuel and catalyst with the gaseous reagent within the reactor vessel at a reaction temperature to produce gaseous products, wherein the gaseous reagent comprises CO2, wherein the fuel comprises a carbonaceous source, and wherein the gaseous products comprise CO.
A catalytic method for producing syngas products from a carbonaceous source and gaseous reagent comprising:
- providing the carbonaceous source and a catalyst to a reactor vessel, wherein the catalyst comprises a mixture of reduced metal oxides selected from the group consisting of Cux—Alm—Op, Fey—Alm—Op, Fey—Mnz—Alm—Op, Cux—Fey—Alm—Op, Cux—Mnz—Alm—Op, Cux—Fey—Mnz—Alm—Op, and combinations thereof, wherein 5≥x>0, 5≥y>0, 5≥z>0, 5≥m>0, and 4≥p>0;
- and
- contacting the carbonaceous source and catalyst with a gaseous reagent to generate gaseous products.
