Synthesis gas production method using an autothermal reactor and autothermal reactor containing oxygen-ion-conducting dense ceramic membrane

摘要

(57) exothermic chemical conversion apparatus for carrying out simultaneously while performing a heat transfer between them, endothermic chemical conversion (31) and (41) [Abstract] The present invention relates to (11). The use of oxygen ion-conducting dense ceramic membranes (35) for selectively separating oxygen from an oxygen-containing gas, the invention is direct (31) partial combustion of gaseous organic compounds and the oxygen and more supplying auto-thermal module on (11). Synthesis gas comprising molecular hydrogen and carbon monoxide, method using auto-thermal module according to the invention is advantageous for the production of synthesis gas containing no (eg, nitrogen) inert diluent gas and harmful and / or particularly preferably I used to. Apparatus of the present invention, particularly partial combustion in auto-thermal module within the integrated, gaseous lower alkanes or other form of natural gas, and then to be converted to synthesis gas by carbon dioxide reforming, and / or steam are used.
