Hydrogen production in a reversible flow filtration combustion reactor

The noncatalytic process of syngas production by means of partial oxidation of methane by air oxygen in a reversible flow filtration combustion reactor has been investigated experimentally. We have investigated the influence of the equivalent ratio and the specific mass flow of the fuel mixture on the composition of conversion products and the maximum temperature in the reaction zone. The optimal conditions for the process providing the most effective conversion of methane to syngas have been established. The concentration of hydrogen is maximal for the equivalent ratio γ = 2.8 and the specific flow rate g = 1.8 kg / (m²⋅s).
