  2. Partial oxidation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partial_oxidation

    Partial oxidation (POX) is a type of chemical reaction. It occurs when a substoichiometric fuel-air mixture is partially combusted in a reformer, creating a hydrogen-rich syngas which can then be put to further use, for example in a fuel cell. A distinction is made between thermal partial oxidation (TPOX) and catalytic partial oxidation (CPOX).

  3. Catalytic oxidation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalytic_oxidation

    Most methane is stranded, i.e. not located near metropolitan areas. Consequently, it is flared (converted to carbon dioxide). One challenge is that methanol is more easily oxidized than is methane. [3] Catalytic oxidation with oxygen or air is a major application of green chemistry. There are however many oxidations that cannot be achieved so ...

  5. Methane reformer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methane_reformer

    A methane reformer is a device based on steam reforming, autothermal reforming or partial oxidation and is a type of chemical synthesis which can produce pure hydrogen gas from methane using a catalyst. There are multiple types of reformers in development but the most common in industry are autothermal reforming (ATR) and steam methane ...

  6. Chemical looping reforming and gasification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_looping_reforming...

    These metal oxides have a high oxidizing tendency and can be used as oxygen carriers for the chemical looping combustion, gasification or partial oxidation processes. The metal oxides in Section E, the small section between the reaction lines 1 and 2, can be used for CLR and CLG, although a significant amount of H 2 O may present in the syngas ...

    Partial oxidation In chemistry, a partial oxidation (POX) reaction occurs when a substoichiometric fuel-air mixture is partially combusted in a reformer. Partial pressure In a mixture of ideal gases, each gas has a partial pressure which is the pressure which the gas would have if it alone occupied the volume.

  8. Heterogeneous catalysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterogeneous_catalysis

    In automobiles, catalytic converters are used to catalyze three main reactions: The oxidation of carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide: 2CO(g) + O 2 (g) → 2CO 2 (g) The reduction of nitrogen monoxide back to nitrogen: 2NO(g) + 2CO(g) → N 2 (g) + 2CO 2 (g) The oxidation of hydrocarbons to water and carbon dioxide: 2 C 6 H 6 + 15 O 2 → 12 CO 2 ...

  9. Sabatier reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabatier_reaction

    Paul Sabatier (1854-1941) winner of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1912 and discoverer of the reaction in 1897. The Sabatier reaction or Sabatier process produces methane and water from a reaction of hydrogen with carbon dioxide at elevated temperatures (optimally 300–400 °C) and pressures (perhaps 3 MPa [1]) in the presence of a nickel catalyst.
