  2. Shilov system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shilov_system

    Shilov cycle The overall charge is omitted from the complexes since the exact coordination sphere of the active species is unknown. The Shilov system is a classic example of catalytic C-H bond activation and oxidation which preferentially activates stronger C-H bonds over weaker C-H bonds for an overall partial oxidation.

  3. 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).

  4. 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. Steam reforming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_reforming

    Steam reforming or steam methane reforming (SMR) is a method for producing syngas (hydrogen and carbon monoxide) by reaction of hydrocarbons with water. Commonly natural gas is the feedstock. The main purpose of this technology is often hydrogen production , although syngas has multiple other uses such as production of ammonia or methanol .

  7. Hydrogen production - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_production

    Steam methane reforming (SMR) produces hydrogen from natural gas, mostly methane (CH 4), and water. It is the cheapest source of industrial hydrogen, being the source of nearly 50% of the world's hydrogen. [34] The process consists of heating the gas to 700–1,100 °C (1,300–2,000 °F) in the presence of steam over a nickel catalyst.

  8. Syngas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syngas

    Syngas is produced by steam reforming or partial oxidation of natural gas or liquid hydrocarbons, or coal gasification. [6] C + H 2 O → CO + H 2 [1] CO + H 2 O → CO 2 + H 2 [1] C + CO 2 → 2CO [1] Steam reforming of methane is an endothermic reaction requiring 206 kJ/mol of methane: CH 4 + H 2 O → CO + 3 H 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.
