MUMBAI, India, April 20 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202411074005 A) filed by Indian Institute Of Technology (Banaras Hindu University); and Gail (India) Limited, Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, on Sept. 30, 2024, for 'a catalyst for methane steam reforming.'
Inventor(s) include Anjali Baudh; Rajesh Kumar Upadhyay; Sweta; and Rahul Sharma.
The application for the patent was published on April 17, under issue no. 16/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a catalyst for methane steam reforming. The catalyst for methane steam reforming of the present invention comprises of a catalytic base doped with a plurality of metallic components. The catalytic base is alumina (Al2O3) and the plurality of metallic components include nickel (Ni) component, cobalt (Co) component and lanthanum (La) component. The Co component exhibits enhancement in life cycle of the catalyst composition by reducing coke deposition. The La component decreases the start-up time and the catalyst is Ni-Co-La/Al2O3 that produces hydrogen with zero% CO selectivity at a temperature ranging from 500-550 C."
