Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Embodiments of the present disclosure also provide for a supported fused Fe catalyst, a method of making the supported fused Fe catalyst, methods of hydrocarbon decomposition, and the like.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim at least the following: 1. A method of selectively producing hydrogen or ethane from methane, comprising: selecting a first temperature to produce a first selected product, wherein the first temperature is selected to favor either a predominately (a) hydrogen and solid carbon product or (b) ethane and hydrogen product; contacting a feed gas containing methane, with a single catalyst at the first temperature to produce the first selected product, wherein the single catalyst is a supported fused FeAl 2 O 4 catalyst; selecting a second temperature to produce a second selected product, wherein the second selected product is different from the first selected product; and contacting a feed gas containing methane, with the single catalyst at the second temperature to produce the second selected product. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein Fe is about 5 to 65 wt. % of the single catalyst. 3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the support includes one or more of silicon oxide, aluminum oxide, titanium oxide, zirconium oxide, magnesium oxide, cerium oxide, zinc oxide, molybdenum oxide, iron oxide, nickel oxide, cobalt oxide, and graphite. 4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the fused catalyst includes red mud generated from industrial production of aluminum.
