Abstract
In a process as disclosed according to the present invention, gases or gas mixtures used to form a reactant mixture in an at least temporarily ignitable composition are fed into a mixing chamber (11) through the passages (131) in a boundary wall (13) of the mixing chamber (11) and by means of one or more feed conduits (14) which have feed orifices (141) and extend into the mixing chamber (11), respectively. The present invention likewise provides a corresponding reactor (1).

Process for forming and for catalytically converting a gaseous reactant mixture in which a first gas or gas mixture and a second gas or gas mixture are mixed to give the reactant mixture and then supplied to a reaction zone (12) of a reactor (1), characterized in that the reactant mixture is at least temporarily formed as an ignitable gas mixture, and in that first gas or gas mixture and the second gas or gas mixture are fed into a mixing chamber (11) having a boundary wall (13) provided with a number of passages (131), where the first gas or gas mixture is fed into the mixing chamber (11) through the passages (131) in a critical flow state and the second gas or gas mixture is fed into the mixing chamber (11) by means of one or more feed conduits (14) which have feed orifices (141) and extend into the mixing chamber (11).
Reactor (1) for formation and for catalytic conversion of a gaseous reactant mixture, wherein the reactor (1) has a reaction zone (12) and is set up to mix at least one first gas or gas mixture and one second gas or gas mixture to give the reactant mixture and supply it to the reaction zone (12), characterized in that the reactor (1) is set up to form the reactant mixture at least temporarily as an ignitable gas mixture, and in that the reactor (1) comprises a mixing chamber (11) having a boundary wall (13) provided with a number of passages (131), wherein the passages (131) are at least partially formed as nozzles having Venturi or Laval characteristics, wherein means set up to feed the first gas or gas mixture into the mixing chamber (11) through the passages (131) in a critical flow state are provided, and wherein one or more feed conduits (14) which have feed orifices (141) and extend into the mixing chamber (11) are provided for feeding of the second gas or gas mixture into the mixing chamber (11).
