       CH₄ cannot be profitably produced from ordinary blast-furnace gas, but if the gas has been produced by blowing O₂ into the furnace, a gas can then be obtained containing up to 60.6% CH₄, after adsorption of CO₂.  The best catalyst for the conversion with steam consists of 84% Ni and 16% Al₂O₃, at about 400°.
