Partial oxidation can be utilized in several industrial processes, including:
Hydrogen production: Syngas generated from partial oxidation can be further processed via water-gas shift reactions to produce pure hydrogen, which is essential for fuel cells and various chemical processes. Ammonia synthesis: Syngas serves as a precursor for producing ammonia, a key component in fertilizers. Synthetic fuels: Through Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, syngas can be converted into liquid hydrocarbons, providing an alternative to traditional fossil fuels. Methanol production: Syngas can be catalytically converted to methanol, which is used as a chemical feedstock and fuel.
