Abstract: A nickel-M-alumina hybrid xerogel catalyst for preparing methane, wherein the metal M is at least one element selected from the group consisting of Fe, Co, Ni, Ce, La, Mo, Cs, Y, and Mg, a method for preparing the catalyst and a method for preparing methane using the catalyst are provided. The catalyst has strong resistance against a high-temperature sintering reaction and deposition of carbon species, and can effectively improve a conversion ratio of carbon monoxide and selectivity to methane.

Abstract: A method for preparing synthetic natural gas (SNG) is provided. More particularly, a method for preparing synthetic natural gas is provided, in which synthetic gas generated after fuel gasification and dust collection is subjected to a first methane synthesis reaction; only part of the gas is subjected to a water gas shift reaction and the remaining gas bypasses; the mixed gas prepared by mixing the gas passed through the water gas shift reaction and the gas bypassing the water gas shift reaction is subjected to a second methane synthesis reaction; and thereby heat of the methane synthesis reaction can be controlled and catalyst life can be lengthened.
