Abstract
Various embodiments may include a reactor comprising: a reaction chamber having a lower region defining a sorbent collection zone; a first feed device supplying reactants to the reaction chamber; a second feed device supplying a liquid sorbent to the reaction chamber; a discharge device connected to the sorbent collection zone for removing sorbent from the sorbent collection zone; and a cooling device for cooling the sorbent in the reaction chamber.
Claims14
A reactor comprising:
- a reaction chamber having a lower region defining a sorbent collection zone;
- a first feed device supplying reactants to the reaction chamber;
- a second feed device supplying a liquid sorbent to the reaction chamber;
- a discharge device connected to the sorbent collection zone for removing sorbent from the sorbent collection zone;
- and
- a cooling device for cooling the sorbent in the reaction chamber.
A method for operating a reactor, the method comprising:
- feeding reactants into a reaction chamber;
- feeding a liquid sorbent into the reaction chamber;
- exposing the reactants to a catalyst in the reaction chamber;
- converting the reactants to reaction products over a catalyst surface until an equilibrium situation is established;
- conveying the reaction products from the catalyst surface to the liquid sorbent and are absorbed thereby;
- wherein at least a portion of the sorbent laden with the reaction products settles in a sorbent collection zone;
- and
- cooling both the liquid sorbent and the at least a portion of the sorbent in the reaction chamber.
