    1. Presentation and background

    In the manufacture of syngas, C and/or C n H m are converted into CO, CO 2 , H 2 with the occasional addition of N 2 , oxygen being supplied either directly, or by steam or air. In terms of syngas utilization, a distinction is essentially made between:

    • Purified H 2 which is the essential component of all hydrogenation reactions ;

    • the CO + CO 2 + H 2 mixture which is at the origin of methanol synthesis;

    • CO alone,...
