CATALYST/HEAT-TRANSFER MEDIUM FOR SYNGAS GENERATION

摘要

Synthesis gas, hydrogen and carbon monoxide, as produced in a fluid-bed or spouted-bed process by reacting methane or a lower alkane with steam and oxygen in the presence of essentially non-catalytic, heat carrying solids with periodic addition of a steam-reforming catalyst for maintaining a level of activity sufficient within 250 DEG F of the approach to equilibrium.
