The kinetics of carbon deposition and its subsequent gasification by steam in the heptane-steam reforming process on a Chinese nickel catalyst has been studied in the temperature range of 460-550℃ and at a pressure of 1.01 ×105 Pa. The constant coking rates are represented as without steam ro = 1.99 ×107exp(-16100/RT)PHep0.97.
with steam re=4.71 × 106exp( -18600/RT)PHep0.94.PH2O-0.98
and the constant decoking rates as carbon deposited without steam carbon deposition with steam The reaction order
energy of activation
pre-exponential factor and the role of steam are discussed. It is concluded that the function of steam during carbon deposition is not only to gasify the deposited carbon
but also
more significantly to suppress the formation and growth of carbon fibre nuclei.
