Why are Catalysts Important for Syngas Production?
The production and subsequent utilization of syngas in industrial applications rely heavily on catalysts. Catalysts play a pivotal role in enhancing the efficiency, selectivity, and economic viability of the processes involved. The key reactions include steam methane reforming (SMR), partial oxidation, and the water-gas shift reaction, all of which require specific catalysts to proceed at practical rates under feasible conditions.
