==METHOD FOR ACTIVATING A CATALYST - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18568559 titled 'METHOD FOR ACTIVATING A CATALYST

The invention pertains to a method for activating a catalyst for catalytic reforming, specifically involving the reaction of carbon dioxide. An activation gas containing steam, hydrogen, and inert gases is passed over the catalyst at an activation temperature during an activation period.

* Activation gas consists of 10-30 mol-% steam, 40-60 mol-% hydrogen, and 20-40 mol-% inert gases.
* Catalyst activation is carried out at a specific temperature and duration.
* The method is particularly suited for catalytic reforming with carbon dioxide.
* Inert gases play a crucial role in the activation process.
* The combination of steam and hydrogen enhances catalyst performance.

Potential Applications:
- Industrial catalytic reforming processes
- Greenhouse gas reduction technologies
- Hydrogen production for various applications

Problems Solved:
