Abstract

A study has been made of the conversion of methane/carbon dioxide mixtures on a vermiculite catalyst of composition 22MgO·22SiO2·5Al2O3·Fe2O3·4OH2O. It has been established that at 900–970°C with molar ratios of CO2/CH4 of 0.5–1.5 and contact times of 10.5–21 sec the conversion proceeds quantitatively but the main products, H2 and CO, are formed in varying proportions. An explanation has been given for the effect of the process parameters on the conversion and selectivity.
