Abstract
To carry out a heterogeneously catalysed reaction, a reaction mixture comprising hydrocarbon and water is fed onto a catalyst that is produced by compressing at least one catalyst powder into a highly compressed layer which forms a shaped body. The reaction mixture is pressed through the catalyst layer with a pressure drop.
Claims8
A process for producing a catalyst layer for carrying out a heterogeneously catalysed reaction, comprising:
- compressing at least one catalyst that contains dendritic copper in powder form, thereby forming a compressed layer that forms a shaped body,
- wherein, in the compressed layer, the dendritic copper forms a lattice support structure for the catalyst material.
