This study demonstrates the possibility and good practical prospects of a principally new type of noncatalytic matrix conversion of natural gas and associated petroleum gas to syngas. Matrix reformers can operate on various types of oxidizers, such as air, enriched air, and oxygen, thereby producing...

Currently, coal gasification and steam reforming of natural gas stand as the primary methods for syngas production, albeit generating substantial green-house gas emissions. Conversely, the steel-manufacturing industry and thermochemical conversion of waste offer alternative sources of syngas characterized by ...
Fischer-Tropsch to olefins (FTO) is a highly efficient technology to produce olefins directly from syngas — a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide derived from coal, natural gas, biomass, solid waste, and CO2 through commercially mature gasification/reforming technology5. However, the goal to ...
1 Generally, natural gas reforming and coal gasification are considered to be relatively mature and efficient industrial technologies for syngas production.5,6 However, most of the aforementioned production processes need to be carried out under the harsh conditions of high temperature and high pressure...
Currently, methanol is industrially produced from natural gas and coal3. The production of methanol from renewable and abundant carbon resource instead of from fossils is a promising route for both fuel and chemicals purpose4,5. Biomass, with global production of 170 billion metric tons per year,...

Global warming is mainly due to the massive emissions of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4), which should thus be limited in the future. For that, dry reforming of methane (DRM) is promising because this process uses CH4and CO2. Ni-based catalysts have been ...
Long-chain alcohols synthesis (LAS, C5+OH) from syngas provides a promising route for the conversion of coal/biomass/natural gas into high-value chemicals. Cu-Fe binary catalysts, with the merits of cost effectiveness and high CO conversion, have attracted considerable attention. Here we report ...
