  2. Butane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butane

    The butane used as a solvent for fragrance extraction does not contain these contaminants. [33] Butane gas can cause gas explosions in poorly ventilated areas if leaks go unnoticed and are ignited by spark or flame. [5] Purified butane is used as a solvent in the industrial extraction of cannabis oils.

  3. Water-reactive substances - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water-reactive_substances

    Water-reactive substances [1] are those that spontaneously undergo a chemical reaction with water, often noted as generating flammable gas. [2] Some are highly reducing in nature. [ 3 ] Notable examples include alkali metals , lithium through caesium , and alkaline earth metals , magnesium through barium .

  5. 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. The ...

  6. List of gases - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_gases

    This list is sorted by boiling point of gases in ascending order, but can be sorted on different values. "sub" and "triple" refer to the sublimation point and the triple point, which are given in the case of a substance that sublimes at 1 atm; "dec" refers to decomposition. "~" means approximately.

  7. Water–gas shift reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watergas_shift_reaction

    The watergas shift reaction (WGSR) describes the reaction of carbon monoxide and water vapor to form carbon dioxide and hydrogen: CO + H 2 O ⇌ CO 2 + H 2. The water gas shift reaction was discovered by Italian physicist Felice Fontana in 1780. It was not until much later that the industrial value of this reaction was realized.

    Initial experiments in 1817–1825, which were failures; began to be used widely in 1860s. Simpler, much less labor-intensive manufacturing process. Oil very expensive feedstock compared to coal; prices (and illuminous efficacy per ft 3) double to triple that of regular coal gas. Oil catalytic semi-water gas. (Improved Jones Process) Petroleum oil.

  9. Catalytic reforming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalytic_reforming

    That offgas is routed to the refinery's central gas processing plant for removal and recovery of propane and butane. The residual gas after such processing becomes part of the refinery's fuel gas system. The bottoms product from the stabilizer is the high-octane liquid reformate that will become a component of the refinery's product gasoline.
