ABSTRACT:
Methods for making mixtures of hydrocarbons including at least about 85% methane include hydrolyzing at least one metal pseudo-carbide that includes at least one metastable carbide-forming metal element and at least one stable carbide-forming metal element to release methane and the metals, then reforming the pseudo-carbides by reacting the recovered metals with a carbon source such as coal.
