Abstract
Synthesis gas is produced by the reaction of light hydrocarbons, primarily methane, in a fluid bed reaction zone of attrition resistant nickel on alpha-alumina catalyst, with steam and oxygen and the conversion level is preserved by limiting the loss of nickel from the reaction and thereby limiting the back reaction of the synthesis gas to form methane in the presence of entrained catalyst in a cooling zone.
