Abstract

A mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide is produced by reforming light hydrocarbons at high temperatures and preferably superatmospheric pressure, by passing steam serially through two or more catalyst-containing reaction zones, to each of which is supplied a portion of the hydrocarbon feed. The hydrocarbon is preferably a paraffin containing up to 10 carbon atoms, petroleum naphtha, gasoline or diesel oil. CO2 may also be added to the feed. The catalyst may be a Group VIII metal, e.g. Ni, Fe, or metal oxide, e.g. NiO, or cobalt molybdate, on a support, e.g. carbon, alumina, magnesia, alumina-magnesia, or thoria-magnesia. In the two-zone apparatus of the Figure (not shown), part of the hydrocarbon feed passes along line 30, mixes with steam at 34, and passes down through tube 14 containing catalyst 24; the effluent then passes up through tube 16 together with remaining hydrocarbon from line 32, and product gases are removed at 42. Reaction tubes 14 and 16, which may be a cluster of parallel tubes, are heated in refractory-lined furnace 10 by burners 18, or the gases may be preheated. Steam may be supplied from a boiler heated by waste gases exhausted at 22.
