NOVOS MATERIAIS CARBONACEOS E METODOS PARA PRODUZIR HIDROGENIO E HIDROCARBONETOS LEVES A PARTIR DE TAIS MATERIAIS

摘要

Carbonaceous materials comprising major amounts of carbon, and minor amounts of hydrogen and ferrous group metal components, particularly nickel and cobalt, react with steam at low temperatures, and produce commercially attractive quantities of such gases as hydrogen, methane, carbon oxides and other light hydrocarbons.
