Method of stream reforming methanol to hydrogen
Patent
·
OSTI ID:6467870
This patent describes an improvement in a process for the production of hydrogen. The process comprising passing a gaseous feed mixture consisting essentially of methanol and water into a reactor over a catalyst bed. The improvement comprising superheating the gaseous mixture to a temperature between about 700{degrees} F. and 1100{degrees} F. while controlling both the ratio of water vapor to methanol in, and the degree of superheat, of the gaseous feed mixture at such values that upon feeding the superheated gaseous mixture to the reactor in contact with the catalyst bed contained therein to produce hydrogen, at least a major portion of the heat required for the endothermic catalyst reforming reaction is extracted directly from the superheated gaseous mixture.
