Claim 10:
11. A method for the conversion of methane (CH4) into synthesis gas, comprising:
preparing an Fe-doped γ-Al2O3 support;
adding a nickel nitrate to the Fe-doped γ-Al2O3 support to form a catalyst; and
bringing the methane gas into contact with the catalyst, wherein:
(1) methane is converted into synthesis gas by partial oxidation;
(2) efficiency of the process of conversion of methane into synthesis gas ranges from 85 to 100%;
(3) selectivity of the process of conversion of methane into synthesis gas ranges from 95 to 100%;
(4) an amount of carbon deposit produced in the process of conversion of methane into synthesis is minimal; and
(5) the synthesis gas produced has a H2 to CO molar ratio of 2.
