CONVERSION OF NATURAL GAS IN THE PROCESS OF STEAM REFORMING VIA AEROSOL NANOCATALYSIS TECHNOLOGY

Abstract

Natural gas conversion is the main industrial method to obtain synthetic gas (syngas) in the production of ammonia, alcohol, acids, Fischer–Tropsch synthesis and other organic products. The present study deals with the conversion of natural gas using aerosol nanocatalysis (AnC) of different parameters and their effect on the products. A new technology of obtaining syngas has been approved. In this technology, many catalysts were used such as Fe₂O₃, K-902 D2, GIAP-8, Co₂O₃ and NiO. The optimal result was obtained with NiO. The experimental setup is very flexible to change from one condition to another. By using different parameters, a different ratio of products could be obtained.
