On the Mechanism of Methane Conversion in the Non?atalytic Processes of Its Thermal Pyrolysis and Steam and Carbon Dioxide Reforming

Abstract A detailed kinetic modeling of the noncatalytic processes thermal pyrolysis and steam carbon dioxide reforming methane revealed almost completely identical kinetics conversion in these processes. This suggests that, temperature range 1400–1800 K, initial stage all is its pyrolysis. The results agree well with experimental data on For examined, Arrhenius expressions (pre-exponential factors activation energy) were obtained first-order approximation for rate studied. derived may be useful making preliminary estimates carrying out engineering calculations.
