What are Some Industrial Applications of High Temperature Catalysis?
High temperature catalysis is crucial in several industrial processes: - Steam Reforming: Producing hydrogen from hydrocarbons, a key process in ammonia and methanol production. - Catalytic Cracking: Breaking down large hydrocarbon molecules into smaller, more valuable products like gasoline. - Partial Oxidation: Converting natural gas into synthesis gas (a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide), used in Fischer-Tropsch synthesis for liquid fuels.
