    摘要: Reactors for carrying out a chemical reaction, as well as related components, systems and methods are provided. In accordance with one embodiment, a reactor is provided that includes a furnace and a crucible positioned for heating by the furnace. The crucible may contain a molten salt bath. A downtube is disposed at least partially within the interior crucible along an axis. The downtube includes a conduit having a first end in communication with a carbon source and an outlet at a second end of the conduit for introducing the carbon material into the crucible. At least one opening is formed in the conduit between the first end and the second end to enable circulation of reaction components contained within the crucible through the conduit. An oxidizing material may be introduced through a bottom portion of the crucible in the form of gas bubbles to react with the other materials.

    摘要: Two or more (preferably three) simple single-chamber crucibles contain molten metal and are successively fed hydrocarbon feed to produce hydrogen, then fed oxygen-containing gas to produce CO, then fed hydrocarbon again, etc. Their operation is controlled by a swing valving sequence which connects the crucibles to a hydrogen header when they are producing hydrogen and to a CO header when they are producing CO, and possibly to a vent (or to the CO header) during the transition between H.sub.2 production and CO production (see FIG. 2). Each crucible (FIGS. 3, 4) preferably is in a pressure-tight steel housing, uses segmented refractories for simplicity in construction and reduction of thermal expansion effects and has an inlet lance (sparging tube) for feeding hydrocarbon and an outlet which emits product gases. Both inlet and outlet are preferably located in the head of each crucible. Swing valves are preferably located downstream of product heat-exchangers for lower temperature operation. Minimum dissolved carbon level during occasional cycles can be reduced to oxidize any sulfur in the melt and purge sulfur from the melt. Then vanadium can be periodically purged from the melt by still further oxidation.

    摘要: Apparatus for reforming hydrocarbon fuels by admixing a hydrocarbon and water to form a feedstream, contacting the feedstream with an inorganic salt or mixture of inorganic salts in the molten state, and separating the gaseous effluent generated by this contact. After the hydrogen-containing effluent is removed from the molten salt, means are provided that the latter may be mixed with oxygen at a temperature and pressure sufficient to permit combustion between the oxygen and any residual carbon which may be retained in the salt, after which further means are provided to remove the gaseous reaction products of this combustion.
