Abstract
This paper presents the results of experiments on the production of hydrogen by methane pyrolysis using a microwave discharge at the PM-6 installation for applied research. For the first time, experimental results on the effect of installation parameters (microwave discharge power, gas ratio) on the efficiency of natural gas conversion to hydrogen have been obtained. The technology of hydrogen production using a microwave discharge, with a maximum methane conversion rate of up to 82% and hydrogen selectivity of up to 15%, has been implemented. The results of the conducted studies on hydrogen production from methane in an argon medium using a microwave discharge can be used in experiments on methane decomposition using catalysts to improve decomposition efficiency.
