In the field of chemical production raw materials, hydrogen is a very important gas, which is widely used in various chemical production processes. The upstream and downstream related products of hydrogen are also very rich, and some of the main upstream and downstream related products will be described in detail below.
1. Upstream Associated Products
1. Natural Gas
Natural gas is a commonly used raw material for hydrogen production, and hydrogen can be produced by natural gas steam reforming. As a result, the price and availability of natural gas have a significant impact on hydrogen production costs and yields.
2. Coal
Coal is also a commonly used raw material for hydrogen production, and hydrogen can be produced through coal gasification and shift reaction. Compared with natural gas, the price of coal is relatively low, but the hydrogen production process will produce more exhaust gas and water vapor, which need to be treated.
3. Water electrolysis
Water electrolysis is a method of producing hydrogen by electrolysis of water, but it consumes more energy, so it is not as widely used in the field of hydrogen production as natural gas and coal.
2. downstream associated products
1. ammonia
hydrogen and nitrogen reaction can produce ammonia, ammonia is an important chemical raw material, widely used in fertilizer, explosives, plastics and other fields. Therefore, the production and price of hydrogen also have a great influence on the production cost and production of ammonia.
2. methanol
hydrogen and carbon monoxide reaction can produce methanol, methanol is an important organic chemical raw materials, used in the production of formaldehyde, acetic acid, dimethyl ether and other products.
3.
of petrochemical products
hydrogen also has a wide range of applications in the petrochemical field, can be used in hydrocracking, hydrofining and other processes to improve the quality and yield of petroleum products.
In short, hydrogen plays a very important role in the field of chemical production raw materials, and its upstream and downstream related products are also very rich. With the continuous advancement of technology and the expansion of application fields, the application fields of hydrogen will continue to expand.
