Abstract: A novel steam reforming catalyst comprising hibonite and potassium beta-alumina with improved resilience, improved activity, reduced potassium leaching and reduced coking problems. It also regards a method for producing the novel catalyst and uses of the novel catalyst in reforming reactors, in a plant for producing hydrogen gas, or in a plant for producing synthesis gas.

Abstract: The invention provides a method for the production of a supported nickel catalyst, in which an aqueous mixture comprising an alkali metal salt plus other metal salts is sintered to form a support material. A supported nickel catalyst comprising potassium ?-alumina is also provided.

Abstract: A process for producing a catalyst, comprising the steps of modifying a carrier by a first impregnation with at least one alkaline earth metal in a first metal precursor solution, the first metal precursor being decomposed to form at least one metal oxide or metal hydroxide, thereby obtaining a modified carrier. A second impregnation is carried out by incipient wetness by a second precursor solution comprising at least one metal Me in a second solution. Finally, the second precursor is decomposed, thereby obtaining a catalyst body having an enrichment of the at least one metal Me in the outer shell of the catalyst body, the metal being present in a concentration having either as an egg-shell profile or a hammock profile.

Abstract: The present application relates to a process for producing a catalyst,said process comprising the steps of: providing a carrier and following modifying said carrier by a first impregnation with at least one alkaline earth metal in a first metal precursor solution. The first metal precursor is decomposed to form at least one metal oxide or metal hydroxide thereby obtaining a modified carrier and a second impregnation is carried out by incipient wetness by a second precursor solution comprising at least one metal Me in a second solution. Finally the second precursor is decomposed thereby obtaining a catalyst body having an enrichment of the at least one metal Me in the outer shell of the catalyst body, said at least one metal being present in a concentration having either as an egg-shell profile or a hammock profile.
