Method of preforming hydrocarbon by oxyhydrogen flame using two burners

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 CO2 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 CO2 as a byproduct by removing the carbon powders from the heat-decomposed mixed gas.
