        Activity of Ni-Al catalyst increases with a decrease of particle size.  A H2 treatment at 350° increases the activity, but at 450° complete inactivation results.  CH4 formation is most favorable at 240°-250°.  The activity of Ni-Si catalyst increases with the decrease of particle size.  No H2 treatment is necessary for this catalyst.  Though the optimum temperature of Ni-Si catalyst is lower than Co-Si, it has a lower activity.  The addition of Mn to Ni-Si catalyst influences the activity unfavorably.  The activity of Ni-Fe-Al (1:1:2) catalyst increases with decrease in particle size.  H2 treatment is unnecessary for this catalyst.
