Equilibrium Composition of Products Formed by Non-catalytic Conversion of Hydrocarbons

Abstract The kinetic patterns of the attainment equilibrium product composition in non-catalytic processes partial oxidation and steam carbon dioxide reforming hydrocarbons temperature range 1400–1800 K, characteristic these processes, were analyzed. need for such analysis is caused by rapidly increasing consumption natural gas as a chemical feedstock growing attention to environmental problems, particular, decrease СО 2 emissions or CO utilization. forward reverse water shift reactions (WGSRs) play an important role approach processes. Analysis has shown that elementary WGSRs start significant long before system attained. Already intermediate steps process, distribution major reaction products, Н , СО, О, almost corresponds value K t = ([H ][CO ])/([CO][H O]), close WGSR constant eq further conversion products occurs at values .
