Abstract
The catalytic formation of methane from water gas has recently been studied with a view to obtaining information to render the process capable of commercial exploitation. The principal factors involved in the catalysis have been described by Booth, Wilkins, Jolley and Tebboth, 1 and other workers.2 A major difficulty encountered was the progressive deposition of carbon on the nickel‐thoriakieselguhr catalyst used. The work described in this paper was a portion of that carried out in order to ascertain the mechanism of the formation of this carbon, so that measures could be taken to minimize it.
