How can the production of dihydrogen, obtained from ‘coal gasification’, be increased?

The process of producing ‘syn-gas’ from coal is called ‘coal gasification’. The mixture of CO and H2O is called SYNGAS.


The production of dihydrogen can be increased by reacting CO of syngas mixtures with steam in the presence of iron chromate as catalyst.
