CH₄-CO₂ mixture is converted to CO and H₂ in the ratio 1:1 in the presence of Ni deposited upon clay such as fire clay.  This gas mixture is passed into a reactor held >200° containing a catalyst mixture such as Co-Th-kieselguhr.  The products are discharged into a separator wherein unreacted gases are removed by an overhead line.  The unreacted gases CO and H₂ in part are subjected to oxidation to convert the CO to CO₂.  The CO is extracted and recycled to the conversion of gaseous hydrocarbons.
