Re: Production of hydrogen by steam reforming...by passing steam over hot 
coke or carbon the H2O molecule is cracked the Oxygen combines with the 
carbon and the Hydrogen is freed. At what tempature does the carbon need 
to be and is the absorbtion great enough to keep the Hydrogen and Oxygen
from igniting and reconbineing?
