Optimum reaction temperature in steam reforming of naphtha is ______________ °C?
Correct answer: A. 700 - 1000
- A. 700 - 1000
- B. 300 - 450
- C. 1500-1700
- D. 100-200
Explanation
Naphtha steam reforming is carried out at high temperature, commonly in the approximate range of 700 to 1000°C, to promote the strongly endothermic reforming reactions. Lower temperatures would give inadequate reaction rates and conversion.
