Abstract
A process for reacting of a hydrocarbon includes reacting a hydrocarbon with oxygen to produce a gas stream and a solid stream in a reactor, and separating the gas stream from the solid stream. The gas stream includes hydrogen, water, and carbon oxides, and the solid stream comprises solid carbon.

A process for reacting of a hydrocarbon, the process comprising:
- reacting a hydrocarbon with one or more oxygen-containing species in a first reactor to produce a first product stream comprising hydrogen, water, and carbon oxides;
- separating water from the first product stream;
- reacting the hydrogen and carbon oxides in a second reactor to produce a second product stream of solid carbon, water, hydrogen, and carbon oxides;
- separating the solid carbon from the hydrogen, water, and carbon oxides;
- and
- separating the water from the hydrogen and carbon oxides.

A reaction process for producing hydrogen and carbon, the process comprising:
- introducing a feed stream comprising a hydrocarbon and an oxidant into a reactor system, wherein the reactor system comprises one or more reactors;
- producing H2 and solid carbon as products in the reactor system;
- separating the solid carbon and the H2 from the one or more reactors;
- and
- recycling at least a portion of any unreacted hydrocarbon and the oxidant to an inlet of the reactor system.
