Pyrolysis
C 6 H 10 O 5 → 5 C O + 5 H 2 + C
C 6 H 10 O 5 → 5 CO + 3 H 2 + CH 4
Partial oxidation
C 6 H 10 O 5 + 1 2 O 2 → 6 CO + 5 H 2
C 6 H 10 O 5 + O 2 → 5 CO + 5 H 2 + CO 2
C 6 H 10 O 5 + 2 O 2 → 3 CO + 5 H 2 + 3 CO 2
Steam reforming
C 6 H 10 O 5 + H 2 O → 6 CO + 6 H 2
C 6 H 10 O 5 + 3 H 2 O → 4 CO + 2 CO 2 + 8 H 2
C 6 H 10 O 5 + 7 H 2 O → 6 CO 2 + 12 H 2
