DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides that when hydrocarbons such as gaseous fuels such as natural gas and propane or liquid fuels such as kerosene and light oil are reacted by a steam reforming reaction, hydrocarbons generated on the inner surface of a reactor, The purpose is to suppress the generation of carbon-like substances that adversely affect the reaction itself. In other words, in a steam reforming reaction aimed at synthesizing light hydrocarbon gas or hydrogen, a significant amount of carbon-like material is generated on the reforming catalyst or inside the reactor as the reaction progresses, causing the pressure inside the reactor to increase. This can cause problems such as difficulty in sustaining a heightened response. On the other hand, it is generally known that alkali metals and alkaline earth metals are effective in suppressing carbon generated on catalysts during reforming reactions. Alkali metals and alkaline earth metals are added as promoters. However, carbon-like substances are generated not only on the catalyst surface but also on the inner surface of the reactor.

Especially when using a metal reactor such as iron or stainless steel,
The metal itself acts as a catalyst to promote carbon generation, resulting in the generation of volatile carbon. In order to suppress carbon generated on the inner surface of the reactor, the present invention eliminates the catalytic action of the inorganic metal such as alumina, titania, zirconia, etc., and makes the surface of the reactor porous. It supports alkali metals and alkaline earth metals that are effective in suppressing carbon.

As a result, very little carbon was generated on the inner surface of the reactor during the reaction. Furthermore, this suppression method can be applied to various types of combustors. That is, in a combustor that utilizes the amount of heat generated by burning various hydrocarbons, it is extremely difficult to completely burn the hydrocarbons and air cleanly, and carbon is likely to be generated on the surface of the combustion tube. As a result, combustion efficiency decreases. In order to prevent the precipitation of carbon, in accordance with the present invention, an inorganic heat-resistant material such as alumina, titania, zirconia, etc. is sprayed on the surface of the combustion tube, and then a solution consisting of various salts of alkali metals and alkaline earth metals is applied to the sprayed surface. After coating and drying, carbon Si is removed from the surface of the combustion tube, which prevents a decrease in combustion efficiency.
