Alumina-Supported Nickel Methanation Catalyst

Alumina-supported nickel methanation catalyst used in syngas processing to convert carbon monoxide and hydrogen into methane. The nickel active phase is dispersed on a high-surface-area alumina support, making it a supported catalyst preparation. It is classified under this tariff item as a supported catalyst not elsewhere specified or included.
