Effects of catalytic bed position on hydrogen production by methane decomposition
COx free hydrogen can be produced by thermal decomposition of methane. Such process is carried out in a fixed bed catalytic reactor. Where heterogeneous catalytic reaction occur when methane come in contact with catalyst bed at a temperature range of 650-900ºC. In this work effect of different cata...
