Abstract
A process for the preparation of acetylene and synthesis gas by partial thermal oxidation in a reactor which has a burner having passages, wherein the starting materials to be reacted are rapidly and completely mixed only immediately before the flame reaction zone in the passages of the burner, a mean flow rate which exceeds the flame propagation velocities under the given reaction conditions being established in the mixing zone within the passages.
Claims12
A process for the preparation of acetylene and synthesis gas by partial thermal oxidation in a reactor comprising a burner having passages, wherein the process comprises rapid and complete mixing of starting materials, to be reacted in a flame reaction zone, in a mixing zone located within the passages of the burner only immediately prior to entry into the flame reaction zone, wherein a mean flow rate, which exceeds flame propagation velocities, is established within the mixing zone.
