Abstract

A methane-containing gas is produced by passing steam and the vapour of paraffinic hydrocarbons having an average of 4 to 15 carbon atoms per molecule into a bed of nickel catalyst at a temperature of from 350-600 DEG C., recycling a proportion of the reaction gases which contain steam, mixing them with the hydrocarbon vapour and steam and passing this mixture through the bed of catalyst, which is maintained at a temperature of at least 400 DEG , preferably 400 DEG to 550 DEG C. throughout the process. The proportion of gas recycled may vary from 0.5 to 50 volumes, preferably 2 to 10 volumes, of reaction gas per volume of gas produced. The reaction mixture including recycle gas may be preheated to a temperature not exceeding 600 DEG C., or cooled, before passing through the catalyst bed, in order to yield a product containing more hydrogen, or more methane, respectively. Specification 969,637 also is referred to.
