what is syn gas?
write the equation of syn gas?
Answers
Answer:
The chemical composition of syngas varies based on the raw materials and the processes. Syngas produced by coal gasification generally is a mixture of 30 to 60% carbon monoxide, 25 to 30% hydrogen, 5 to 15% carbon dioxide, and 0 to 5% methane. It also contains lesser amount of other gases.
Answer:
Syngas, or synthesis gas, is a fuel gas mixture consisting primarily of hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and very often some carbon dioxide. The name comes from its use as intermediates in creating synthetic natural gas and for producing ammonia or methanol.
Carbon dioxide and methane
A two-stage method developed in 2012 produces syngas consisting only of carbon monoxide and hydrogen. In a first step, methane is decomposed at a temperature of more than 1000 °C, thus forming a mixture of carbon and hydrogen (reaction: CH4 + energy -> C + 2 H2).
