Production of synthesis gas with given hydrogen to carbon monoxide ratio in silent discharge

摘要

In the production of synthesis gas containing a hydrogen-carbon monoxide gas mixture by passing a methane-carbon dioxide gas mixture through a low-current discharge reactor, the percentage of in the feed gas is adjusted according to a predetermined function (f) for a predetermined volume ratio in the synthesis gas and does not vary by more than /! 20%. In the production of synthesis gas containing a hydrogen-carbon monoxide gas mixture by passing a methane-carbon dioxide gas mixture through a discharge reactor with a low-current gas discharge operated by an alternating voltage source through a dielectric, the percentage fraction V of CO2 in the feed gas is adjusted according to a predetermined function (f) for a predetermined volume ratio R = H2/CO in the synthesis gas and does not vary by more than /! 20%. The percentage fraction is given by V = (CO2/(CO2 + CH4)) /* 100.
