CATALYTIC CONVERSION OF n-HEPTANE
The mixture of C7H16-C6H14-H2O-CH4-H2-C-CO was inves- tigated using the method of thermodynamic analysis. H2O/ C7H16 molar ratio insuring the impossibility of free carbon for- mation was defined. The results of investigation of a new class active and selective in the conversion of hydrocarbons Nickel-containing catalysts are presented. The necessity of the preliminary thermolysis of Nickel-containing precursor to increase the activity and selectivity of the catalysts in the processes of steam reforming of n-heptane was justified. The relation between the parameters of Al-Ni-catalyst synthesis, yield and selectivity to H2 and CH4 was estimated
