HISTORY OF THE DEVELOPMENT AND TRANSFORMATION OF METHANE INTO CARBON DIOXIDE

Abstract

The first work on the production of synthesis gas by converting methane to carbon dioxide was published in 1928 [5]. In the 1990s, research on the conversion of carbon dioxide to methane was focused on the production of synthesis gas in various H2/CO ratios for the synthesis of hydrocarbons and petroleum products [18]. The main goal of the research of the NCM was to develop active catalysts that can work for a long time without renewal. In [16, 19], the catalytic activity of some metals (Cu, Fe, Co, Ni, Ru, Ru, Rh, Ir or Pt) was increased by using additives (Al2O3, SiC>2, TiCl, MgO, C, ZnO,SiC,BaO,ZrCl,GeO2 or zeolites) [5]. Precious metal catalysts are more resistant to coke production, but due to their high cost and limited efficiency, they are used for economical purposes.
