    Abstract
    In this study, two units of production of synthesis gas has been stimulated into 2 forms of natural gas complex (steam/Co2¬) reforming and dry reforming. They have been examined from technical and economical views. The product from this process is synthesis gas by the unit ratio of Hydrogen and Carbon Monoxide which is used in Arak petrochemical complex for producing 2EH. For producing this synthesis gas in 900C (reactor temperature) and 15 bar of total pressure , the ratio of feeding parts into reforming reactor for total input carbon (methane and other hydrocarbon) and Carbon dioxide gas and water vapor in representation ( [CH4 + other hydrocarbons : CO2 : H2O ] ) for complex reforming ...

    Abstract
    Propane dehydrogenation was carried over a commercial Pt-Sn/γ-Al 2O3 catalyst at atmospheric pressure and reaction temperatures of 580, 600, and 620°C and WHSV of 11 h-1 in an experimental tubular quartz reactor. Propane conversions were measured for catalyst time on stream of up to nine days. The amounts of coke deposited on the catalyst were measured after one, three, six, and nine days on stream using a thermogravimetric differential thermal analyzer (TG-DTA) for each reaction temperature. The coke formation kinetics was successfully described by a coke formation model based on a monolayer-multilayer mechanism. In addition, catalyst deactivation was presented by a time-dependant...
