Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for producing a catalyst for carrying out methanation reactions. The production of the catalyst is based on contacting of a hydrotaicite-comprising starting material with a fusible metal salt. The compounds brought into contact with one another are intimately mixed, thermally treated so that the metal salt fraction melts and subsequently subjected to a low-temperature calcination step and a high-temperature calcination step. The metal salt melt comprises at least one metal selected from the group consisting of K, La, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu and Ce, preferably Ni. The metal salt melt more preferably comprises/contains nickel nitrate hexahydrate. The hydrotaicite-comprising starting material is preferably hydrotaicite or a hydrotalcite-like compound as starting material, and the hydrotaicite-comprising starting material preferably comprises magnesium and aluminum as metal species. The catalyst of the invention is preferably used for carrying out methanation reactions at elevated pressures (from 10 to 50 bar) and elevated temperatures.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for producing a catalyst, where the catalyst comprises a catalytically active material and a carbon-comprising support, in which the carbon- comprising support is impregnated with a metal salt solution in a first step, the carbon- comprising support impregnated with the metal salt solution is subsequently heated to a temperature of at least 1500°C in an inert atmosphere to form a metal carbide layer and the catalytically active material is finally applied to the carbon-comprising support provided with the metal carbide layer. The invention further provides a catalyst which has been produced by the process and comprises a carbon-comprising support and a catalytically active material, with the carbon-comprising support having a metal carbide layer and the catalytically active material having been applied to the carbon-comprising support provided with the metal carbide layer.
