Hydrogen Production from Coal and Hydrocarbons

Due to the various raw materials, the specific processes differ, in particular the technical realizations. We will restrict ourselves to a short review of the physicochemical fimdamentals starting with the underlying reaction equations. 

Physico-Chemical Fundamentals of Hydrogen Production from Fossil Fuels  

The reaction characteristics of gasification can be subdivided into four groups (AH refers to 0°C and 0.1 MPa as the reference state)

The reaction enthalpy can be calculated from the enthalpies of Eqs. 5.4 and 5.2 as follows
