Partial oxidation of methane over Ni/theta-Al2O3 catalysts
Ni/theta -Al2O3 exhibits remarkably high catalytic activity and stability in partial oxidation of methane to synthesis gas. It gives more than 98% CH, conversion, 98% H-2 selectivity and 100% CO selectivity at 850 degreesC and the activity was maintained for 100 h.
