## Abstract

A method for converting carbon into a carbon oxide, comprises: contacting carbon with steam in presence of a carnegieite-like material of formula (Na2O)xNa2[Al2Si2O8], wherein 0<x≤1. Method and apparatus for hydrocarbon cracking are also described herein.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method for hydrocarbon-cracking, comprising: contacting at least one hydrocarbon with steam in an apparatus having a contact surface accessible to the at least one hydrocarbon, the contact surface comprising a material of formula (Na2O)xNa2[Al2Si2O8] with carnegieite structure wherein 0<x<1.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the material is of formula Na4Al2Si2O9.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the contacting occurs at a temperature in a range from about 500° C. to about 870° C. and wherein the at least one hydrocarbon comprises at least one of ethane, propane, butane, heptane, liquid petroleum gas, naphtha, and gas oil.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the contacting occurs at a temperature in a range from about 800° C. to about 860° C. and wherein the at least one hydrocarbon comprises at least one of ethane, propane, butane, heptane, liquid petroleum gas, naphtha, and gas oil.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the material is a mixture of materials of formula (Na2O)xNa2[Al2Si2O3].
