HYDROGEN PRODUCTION PROCESS

摘要

A hydrogen production process includes combining a first feedstream and a second feedstream to produce, in a pre-reforming reactor, a first product s tream comprising CH4 and H2O; wherein the first feedstream contains a mixtur e of H2 and at least one selected from the group consisting of hydrocarbons having two or more carbon atoms and alcohols having two or more carbon atoms , and the mixture has a hydrogen stoichiometric ratio (.lambda.) of at least 0.1, and the second feedstream contains steam; feeding the first product st ream into a reforming reactor; and reacting the first product stream in the reforming reactor to produce a second product stream containing CO and H2; a nd a catalyst for use in the process.
