The invention relates to a method for the heterogeneous catalysis of a reaction for the hydrogenation of a carbon oxide in the gaseous state, such as a methanation reaction, using, in a reactor (1), carbon dioxide and gaseous dihydrogen and at least one solid catalytic compound capable of catalyzing said reaction in a given temperature range T, comprising contacting said gaseous reactant and said catalytic compound in the presence of a heating agent, and heating the heating agent to a temperature within said temperature range T. The method is characterized in that the heating agent comprises a ferromagnetic material in the form of micrometric powder and/or wires, said ferromagnetic material being heated by magnetic induction by means of a field inductor, such as a coil (2) external to the reactor (1). According to one embodiment, the catalyst support for implementing said method comprises a ferromagnetic material in the form of wires of micrometric diameters, on the surface of which metal catalyst particles are deposited. |
