Abstract: In a process for the synthesis of a nitrile by endothermic catalyzed reaction of ammonia with a hydrocarbon using heating obtained by passing an alternating current through a metallic coil, the endothermic reaction between ammonia and the hydrocarbon takes place in a reactor with direct inductive heating in the reaction zone. The heating is extremely fast, which makes the reaction practically instantaneous.

Abstract: In a method for generating ammonia synthesis gas by electrolysis, comprising the steps of compressing air and feeding it to an air separation process, in which the content of nitrogen is concentrated while the content of oxygen and CO2 is diluted, feeding a mixture of steam and the compressed and refined air into the electrolysis unit or into the first of a series of electrolysis units and passing the outlet from one electrolysis unit to the inlet of the next electrolysis unit, either together with air added after each electrolysis unit or only adding air after the last electrolysis unit, the electrolysis units are run in thermoneutral or endothermal mode and the nitrogen part of the synthesis gas is provided by burning the hydrogen produced by steam electrolysis by the refined air in or between the electrolysis units.

Abstract: In a method for generating various synthesis gases by electrolysis, comprising feeding steam and compressed air to the cathode and anode, respectively, of the electrolysis unit or of the first of a series of electrolysis units into the first of a series of electrolysis units, the electrolysis units are operated under an elevated gas pressure, and the oxygen-rich gas leaving the anode is subsequently expanded down to approximately ambient pressure using a gas expander. The electrolysis units are preferably solid oxide electrolysis cell (SOEC) stacks.

Abstract: A reactor system for dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene to styrene in a given temperature range T upon bringing a reactant stream including ethylbenzene into contact with a catalytic mixture. The reactor system includes a reactor unit arranged to accommodate the catalytic mixture, the catalytic mixture including catalyst particles in intimate contact with a ferromagnetic material, where the catalyst particles are arranged to catalyze the dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene to styrene. The reactor system moreover includes an induction coil arranged to be powered by a power source supplying alternating current and being positioned so as to generate an alternating magnetic field within the reactor unit upon energization by the power source, whereby the catalytic mixture is heated to a temperature within the temperature range T by means of the alternating magnetic field. Also, a catalytic mixture and a method of dehydrogenating ethylbenzene to styrene.
