Abstract
Systems and methods of producing chemical compounds are disclosed. An example chemical production system includes a combustion chamber having intake ports for entry of a gas mixture. An igniter ignites the gas mixture in the intake chamber to facilitate a reaction at a high temperature and high pressure. A nozzle restricts exit of the ignited gas mixture from the combustion chamber. An expansion chamber cools the ignited gas. The expansion chamber has an exhaust where the cooled gas exits the expansion chamber. A chemical compound product is formed in the expansion chamber.
Claims20
A chemical production system comprising:
- a pulse jet combustion chamber having intake ports for entry of a gas mixture, and an igniter to ignite the gas mixture in the combustion chamber;
- a nozzle to restrict exit of the ignited gas mixture from the combustion chamber;
- and
- an expansion chamber to cool the ignited gas with a cooling agent, the expansion chamber having an exhaust where the cooled gas exits the expansion chamber, wherein the gas mixture is selected as a precursor to produce a chemical compound product in the expansion chamber.
A method comprising:
- igniting a gas mixture from a hydrogen pulse jet combustion chamber;
- restricting exit of the ignited gas mixture from the combustion chamber to increase temperature and pressure;
- cooling the ignited gas in an expansion chamber;
- and
- collecting a chemical compound product from the expansion chamber.
A method comprising:
- igniting a gas mixture in a combustion chamber;
- admitting vapor or mist to the combustion chamber to modify combustion product;
- restricting exit of the ignited gas mixture from the combustion chamber to increase pressure;
- and
- collecting a chemical compound product from the expansion chamber.
