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.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the catalyst has nickel as the active element on a support other than alumina
Subheading 3815.11 covers supported catalysts with nickel or nickel compounds as the active substance.
If the catalyst has a precious metal (e.g., platinum, palladium) as the active element
Subheading 3815.12 covers supported catalysts with precious metals or precious metal compounds as the active substance.
