Abstract

<PICT:0364419/III/1> p In the catalytic production of hydrogen from hydrocarbon gases and steam the catalyst is periodically regenerated by the passage of steam alone. Preferably a number of reaction chambers connected in parallel are used and each is regenerated in turn. The catalyst may be nickel and/or nickel oxide with or without alumina, and the temperature of the catalytic reaction exceeds 1200 DEG F. The invention is particularly applicable to the treatment of hydrocarbons containing heavy unsaturated constituents. In the illustrated apparatus the hydrocarbon gas is washed with caustic soda to remove sulphur compounds in the column 2 and after preheating in the coil 6 is passed to the reaction tubes 8. Steam from the superheater 12 is also admitted to these. The gases leaving the tubes 8 traverse a second reaction chamber 19 in which carbon monoxide is converted into dioxide, and are finally passed through the scrubber 24 where carbon dioxide is removed. To reactivate the catalyst in each of the tubes 8 the corresponding valve 10a, 10b, 10c controlling the admission of hydrocarbon is closed, but the passage of steam through the tube is continued.
