Thermodynamic study on the catalytic partial oxidation of methane to syngas
The catalytic partial oxidation of methane to syngas (CO+H-2) has been simulated thermodynamically with the advanced process simulator PRO/II. The influences of temperature, pressure, CH4/O-2 ratio and steam addition in feed gas on the conversion of CH4 Selectively to syngas and heat duty required were investigated, and their effects on carbon formation were also discussed. The simulation results were in good agreement with the literature data taken from a spouted bed reactor.
