Paul Sabatier (1854-1941) winner of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1912 and discoverer of the reaction in 1897. The Sabatier reaction or Sabatier process produces methane and water from a reaction of hydrogen with carbon dioxide at elevated temperatures (optimally 300–400 °C) and pressures (perhaps 3 MPa [1]) in the presence of a nickel catalyst.
Most of the time, hydrogen is made by splitting methane (CH 4) into carbon dioxide (CO 2) and hydrogen (H 2) via steam reforming. This is a carbon-intensive process that means for every kilogram of “grey” hydrogen produced, approximately 10 kilograms of CO 2 are emitted into the atmosphere.
A fuel-air or fuel-oxygen mixture is partially combusted, resulting in a hydrogen- and carbon monoxide-rich syngas. More hydrogen and carbon dioxide are then obtained from carbon monoxide (and water) via the water-gas shift reaction. [35] Carbon dioxide can be co-fed to lower the hydrogen to carbon monoxide ratio.
Autothermal reforming (ATR) uses oxygen and carbon dioxide or steam in a reaction with methane to form syngas. The reaction takes place in a single chamber where the methane is partially oxidized. The reaction is exothermic. When the ATR uses carbon dioxide, the H 2:CO ratio produced is 1:1; when the ATR uses steam, the H 2:CO ratio produced is ...
In thermolysis, water molecules split into hydrogen and oxygen. For example, at 2,200 °C (2,470 K; 3,990 °F) about three percent of all H 2 O are dissociated into various combinations of hydrogen and oxygen atoms, mostly H, H 2, O, O 2, and OH. Other reaction products like H 2 O 2 or HO 2 remain minor. At the very high temperature of 3,000 ...
The net cell reaction yields hydrogen and oxygen gases. The reactions for one mole of water are shown below, with oxidation of oxide ions occurring at the anode and reduction of water occurring at the cathode. Anode: 2 O 2− → O 2 + 4 e −. Cathode: H 2 O + 2 e − → H 2 + O 2−. Net Reaction: 2 H 2 O → 2 H 2 + O 2
The first reaction with many volatile organic compounds (VOCs) is the removal of a hydrogen atom, forming water and an alkyl radical (R •): • HO + RH → H 2 O + R • The alkyl radical will typically react rapidly with oxygen forming a peroxy radical: R • + O 2 → RO 2
Together with its conjugate base superoxide, hydroperoxyl is an important reactive oxygen species.Unlike • O − 2, which has reducing properties, HO • 2 can act as an oxidant in a number of biologically important reactions, such as the abstraction of hydrogen atoms from tocopherol and polyunstaturated fatty acids in the lipid bilayer.
