Abstract

Steam methane (CH 4 –H 2 O) reforming in the presence of a catalyst, usually nickel, is the most common technology for generating synthesis gas as a feedstock in chemical synthesis and a source of pure H 2 and CO. What is essential from the perspective of further gas use is the parameter describing a ratio of equilibrium concentration of hydrogen to carbon monoxide ( H / C = x H 2 / x C O ) . The parameter is determined by operating temperature and the initial ratio of steam concentration to methane S C = x H 2 O 0 / x C H 4 0 . In this paper, the author presents a thermodynamic analysis of the effect of green hydrogen addition to a fuel mixture on the steam methane reforming process of gaseous phase (CH 4 /H 2 )–H 2 O. The thermodynamic analysis of conversion of hydrogen-enriched methane (CH 4 /H 2 )–H 2 O has been performed using parametric equation formalism, allowing for determining the equilibrium composition of the process in progress. A thermodynamic condition of carbon precipitation in methane reforming (CH 4 /H 2 ) with the gaseous phase of H 2 O has been interpreted. The ranges of substrate concentrations creating carbon deposition for temperature T = 1000 K have been determined, based on the technologies used. The results obtained can serve as a model basis for describing the properties of steam reforming of methane and hydrogen mixture (CH 4 /H 2 )–H 2 O.
