        Possible reactions of CH₄ with O₂, H₂O, and CO₂ were calculated from the Nernst heat theorem.  Experiments were made by heating CH₄ and O₂, with and without Ni catalysts, to 550°-850°.  With no catalyst the products are CO₂ and H₂O; with catalyst H₂, CO, and CO₂.  Conclusion:  Natural gas, air, and steam passed over a suitable catalyst at 1,000° would yield gas that could be used as a source of H₂ and N₂ for NH₃ synthesis.
