Question

Steam reforming of naphtha is a source of hydrogen production for nitrogenous fertiliser industry. What is the usual ratio of steam to carbon maintained in the process of steam reforming of naphtha?

• A. 1.5:1
• B. 3.5:1
• C. 10:1
• D. 15:1

Hint:

Maintain steam-carbon ratio to avoid catalyst deactivation.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Steam to carbon ratio of 3.5:1 is maintained to optimize hydrogen production and minimize coke formation during steam reforming.
