Abstract Thermodynamic analyses of cracking, partial oxidation (POX), steam reforming (SR) and oxidative steam reforming (OSR) of butane and propane (for comparison) were performed using the Gibbs free energy minimization method under the reaction conditions of T = 250–1000 °C, steam-to-carbon ratio (S/C) of 0.5–5 and O2/HC (hydrocarbon) ratio of 0–2.4. The simulations for the cracking and POX processes showed that olefins and acetylene can be easily generated through the cracking reactions and can be removed by adding an appropriate amount of oxygen. For SR and OSR of propane and butane, predicted carbon formation only occurred at low S/C ratios (
