Regarding water in syngas
Thread Content
Yesterday at work, while observing the fluctuations in levels, I had an idea: the synthesis process itself does not involve water; the fluctuations in levels that occur are due to the water contained in the gaseous syngas produced during synthesis. However, based on the current total amount of such fluctuations, the proportion of water in the syngas is as high as 60%. Yet, according to both online analysis and manual analysis, CO, CO2, and H2 together account for around 90% of the total composition of the syngas. Since no analysis was conducted on the water content, the water content in the samples is less than 10%. What could be causing such a large difference?
Syngas needs to be cooled before being fed into the mass spectrometer; the moisture in it must be removed before analysis, of course, which is different
