Methane reforming and partial oxidation was studied to evaluate the catalytic effects of coal chars and coal ashes on methane (CH4) conversion, sum selectivity (the sum of H2 and CO), and ratio selectivity (the ratio of H2/CO) in an atmospheric fluidized bed. The kinetics study presented the possibility of CH4 reforming and partial oxidation with a favorable H2/CO ratio, greater than 5. The …
