Abstract

An object is to improve low fuel efficiency due to heating that is necessary continually during operation in order to continuously produce hydrogen without generating CO 2 from methane, and to reduce a heat loss. It is a method of reforming hydrocarbon by an oxyhydrogen flame, in which the oxyhydrogen flame is made from mixed gas of hydrogen and oxygen in a container sealed with an insulating material using a two-tube burner that supplies hydrogen and oxygen, methane pre-heated to 200 to 400° C. is injected into the above-described oxyhydrogen flame from a separate burner, methane is heat-decomposed into hydrogen and carbon powders by rapidly heating to 500 to 1000° C., and a two-tube burner using the oxyhydrogen flame is used so that hydrogen is continuously manufactured without generating CO 2 as a byproduct by removing the carbon powders from the heat-decomposed mixed gas.

Claims

1 . A method of reforming hydrocarbon by an oxyhydrogen flame, wherein the oxyhydrogen flame is made from mixed gas of hydrogen and oxygen in a container sealed with an insulating material using a two-tube burner that supplies hydrogen and oxygen, methane pre-heated to 200 to 400° C. is injected into the oxyhydrogen flame from a separate burner, methane is heat-decomposed into hydrogen and carbon powders by rapidly heating to 500 to 1000° C., and a two-tube burner using the oxyhydrogen flame is used so that hydrogen is continuously manufactured without generating CO 2  as a byproduct by removing the carbon powders from the heat-decomposed mixed gas.
