A thermodynamic analysis of synthesis gas production via partial oxidation (POX) of biogas is performed in the present article. Chemical equilibrium calculations are conducted for partial oxidation of (CH4+CO2) mixtures based on Gibbs free energy minimization method emphasizing soot formation. Regar...
