Data for: dry reforming of methane

This dataset refers to patented methods, processes and reactors used in dry reforming (DRM) of methane and can be useful for prior art searches, patent landscapes and FTO searches.Dry reforming is one of the three processes implemented to obtain syngas (CO + H2) via reforming of methane. The reaction of methane (1) with carbon dioxide is endothermic and requires a lot of energy.CH4 + CO2  2CO + 2H2 AH298K = + 247KJ/mol The catalysts used are active metals (Ni, Rh, Ru, Co, Fe, Cu) or based on bimetallic components like Co-Ni. Different supports were investigated such as Al2O3, natural clay (Al2O3 · SiO2 · 2H2O), clay modified with Fe or Cu.This dataset was obtained by combing keywords, classification (IPC/CPC) and indexing codes.Patent searches were carried out on Orbit Intelligence platform (FamPat database).The complete list of symbols used is available in the README file.1772 patent families were retrieved. Approximately 70% are alive patents/patent applications.
