Methanol to hydrogen
Thread Content
Theoretical maximum temperature for methanol-to-hydrogen catalysts is 290 degrees; has it been used in practice, and what is the highest temperature achieved?
I’ve heard that at 400 degrees for 4 hours, the conversion rate sees a slight decrease, but it hasn’t been tested in practice.
Can’t post anymore; I need to bind it, sigh
Here, we need to replace the oil with cold oil when it reaches 265; we haven’t tried what the maximum limit is.
In the methanol cracking process for hydrogen production, there are both one-pass and cyclic processes. In the one-pass approach, high temperatures are used in order to achieve a higher conversion rate of methanol; initially, a temperature of 270–280 degrees can be used, while at later stages, temperatures of 290–300 degrees can be employed. Of course, this also depends on the catalysts used by various manufacturers. The catalysts in Linde’s systems are generally operated at temperatures between 280–300 degrees
