<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reform a hydrocarbon gas, such as methane, ethane, and propane, to separate and extract hydrogen. <P>SOLUTION: There is provided a hydrocarbon gas reforming method which uses oxyhydrogen flame and comprises accommodating a catalyst consisting of nickel, platinum, palladium, and carbon in a reforming tower enclosed with a heat insulating material, directly heating the catalyst to 400-650°C with oxyhydrogen flame, pouring a hydrocarbon gas into the reforming tower, separating the hydrocarbon gas into carbon and hydrogen by bringing the hydrocarbon gas into contact with the heated catalyst, and cooling the above described hydrogen, thus yielding hydrogen. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT</p> |
