What role do steam reforming catalysts play in the hydrogen production process?
Steam reforming catalysts, often based on nickel, play a vital role in hydrogen production. They facilitate the reaction between methane and water vapor to produce hydrogen-rich gas. The catalyst lowers the activation energy for the reaction, ensuring efficiency and high-purity hydrogen output. The choice and optimization of these catalysts are crucial for an effective steam reforming process.
