Data on Hydrogen Production in a Reactor

Dataset Title: Experimental Data for the Reaction Mechanism of In-situ Hydrogen Generation from Heavy Oil

Description:

This dataset contains the experimental data supporting the findings of the manuscript titled "Reaction Mechanism of In-situ Hydrogen Generation from Heavy Oil over the Full Temperature Range". The research investigates the reaction mechanism of in-situ hydrogen generation from heavy oil via aquathermolysis in a high-temperature, high-pressure autoclave.

The experiments were systematically conducted to evaluate the effects of key operating parameters on the gas product distribution. The dataset is organized into files corresponding to different experimental conditions.

Key parameters investigated include:

Reaction Temperature: Ranging from 300 to 550 °C.

Reaction Time: Specific durations of 4h, 6h, and 8h.

Water-to-Oil Ratio: Investigated at three levels: 1:1, 1:1.5, and 1:2.

Catalyst System: A mixture of core powder catalyst and quartz sand was used.

The dataset comprises:

Gas Composition Data: Mole fractions (%) of H₂, CO, CO₂, CH₄, and C₂⁺ hydrocarbons obtained at different water-to-oil ratios (1:1, 1:1.5, and 1:2) across the full temperature range.

Effect of Reaction Time: Data showing the hydrogen mole fraction (%) at different reaction times (4h, 6h, and 8h).

Figure Source Data: Processed data files used to generate all figures and tables presented in the manuscript, ensuring full reproducibility.

The data is primarily provided in Microsoft Excel (.xlsx) format, with clear labeling in each sheet. This dataset is valuable for researchers studying heavy oil upgrading, in-situ hydrogen production, and reaction mechanisms.
