There are three predominant modes of catalytic reforming: partial oxidation, steam reforming, and oxidative steam reforming.
What is partial oxidation?
Dajiang, M. et al. Catalytic partial oxidation of methane over Ni/CeO2-ZrO2-Al2O3.
Partial oxidation reactions are important in the chemical industry.
The partial oxidation parameter showed that with increase of time, total oxidation was the predominant mechanism compared to partial oxidation.
Sengodan, S. et al. Advances in reforming and partial oxidation of hydrocarbons for hydrogen production and fuel cell applications.
Comparative study on partial oxidation of methane over Ni/ZrO2, Ni/CeO2 and Ni/Ce ZrO2 catalysts.
Veser, G. Multiscale process intensification for catalytic partial oxidation of methane: from nanostructured catalysts to integrated reactor concepts.
The last experiment was an operando XRD-CT experiment of the same catalyst during the partial oxidation of methane.
