METHOD OF PRODUCING METHANE-HYDROGEN MIXTURE Russian patent published in 2020 - IPC C01B3/38 

FIELD: chemistry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a method of producing a methane-hydrogen mixture for producing hydrogen and can be used in chemical industry for processing hydrocarbon gases, as well as in methane-hydrogen mixture application technologies, including in electric energy accumulation systems. Method includes catalytic conversion of methane-containing gas in adiabatic reactor with supply of water vapor preheated by electric heater therein, wherein conversion is carried out without supply of oxygen-containing gases, maintaining temperature at reactor outlet at level of not higher than 700 °C.

EFFECT: invention increases thermodynamic efficiency of the method of producing methane-hydrogen mixture and efficiency of methane conversion, high content of hydrogen and reduced content of ballast gases in the produced gas, higher fire-explosion safety, as well as reduced capital costs and metal consumption.
