Title

Analyses Of Hydrogen Production From Sub-Quality Natural Gas (I): Sqng Thermal Decomposition And Autothermal Processes

Abstract

As the prices of fossil fuel increase, abundant sub quality natural gas (SQNG) resources become important alternatives to replace increasingly exhausted reserves of high quality natural gases. Since SQNG contain highly concentrated hydrocarbons compared to other sources (landfill gas and biomass), SQNG are good feedstock for the production of hydrogen. Utilization of SQNG as energy sources is whether there is an alternative technology to economically and efficiently remove highly concentrated H2S from SQNG. A discussion covers the technologies currently studied for the treatment of SQNG in terms of removing H2S and/or utilizing it for the production of sulfur, i.e., amine absorption + Claus plant, alkaline absorption + electrolysis (or photolysis), Fe-Cl hybrid process (FeCl3 + electrolysis), high temperature electrolysis, and H2S methane reformation; analysis of thermal decomposition of SQNG; autothermal decomposition of SQNG; and equilibrium mole flow rates of H2S, sulfur disulfide, and diatomic sulfur. This is an abstract of a paper presented at the ACS Fuel Chemistry Meeting (Washington, DC Fall 2005).
