The technology relates to a process and system for producing a gas comprising nitrogen (N.sub.2) and hydrogen (H.sub.2) in a reaction chamber of length L of a reactor. The process comprises injecting air and injecting hydrogen into the reactor and the combustion of a portion of the injected hydrogen with the oxygen from the air in the reaction chamber, in the presence of an overstoichiometric molar excess of hydrogen relative to the oxygen from the air. The combustion is supported by a flame produced by an air flow having a velocity v.sub.1 resulting from the injection of air, surrounded by a hydrogen flow having a velocity v.sub.2 resulting from the injection of hydrogen, with the velocity v.sub.2 being greater than v.sub.1.

A heat recovery system for plasma reformers is comprised of a cascade of regenerators and recuperators that are arranged to transfer in stages the heat at high temperatures for storage, transport, and recirculation. Recirculation of heat increases the efficiency of plasma reformers and heat exchanging reduces temperature of the product for downstream applications.

The present invention relates, in general, to systems and methods for generating hydrogen from ammonia on-board vehicles, where the produced hydrogen is used as fuel source for an internal combustion engine. The present invention utilizes an electric catalyst unit operating in series with a heat exchange catalyst unit. The electric catalyst unit is used to initiate an ammonia cracking process on-board during a cold start or low load operating condition of the internal combustion engine, where the ammonia cracking process occurs in the heat exchange catalyst unit once exhaust gas from the internal combustion engine has been heated to a threshold temperature suitable to perform the ammonia cracking process.

Chemical systems and methods for synthesis gas (syngas) production relying on pyrolysis gases containing a pyrolysis carbon product and pyrolysis-derived hydrogen from a pyrolysis reactor that pyrolyzes a hydrocarbon feedstock. A high-temperature carbon separation mechanism separates the pyrolysis carbon product from the pyrolysis gases while maintaining their temperature above 800? C. A carbon dioxide source provides a gas stream primarily made up of a carbon dioxide gas. The hot pyrolysis gases containing pyrolysis-derived hydrogen and the carbon dioxide gas are sent to a reverse water gas shift reactor to react the pyrolysis gases with carbon dioxide to form the syngas. The syngas thus formed in the reverse water gas shift reactor can be used in many types of downstream systems and applications, including in reducing a metal oxide such as iron ore or other metal oxide to obtain a metal oxide reduction product. Recycling and heat exchange are provided for achieving further system efficiencies.
