A process for gasifying carbonaceous solids in a rotating zone is disclosed wherein the gasifying agents are injected into a tumbling bed of the solids through an elongated, rotating tubular flow path (19) positioned and supported so as to remain in the tumbling bed during rotation of the zone. The invention is particularly useful in rotary kilns where coal, lignite, peat, heavy oil residual, and other carbonaceous materials are gasified using injected steam, oxygen or air.

Fluid injection method

Recycle shale oil is used in an extractive pyrolysis process of oil shale. Hot gases from the pyrolyzer are used to preheat the shale.

Upgrading carbonaceous materials

A process for removing water from butylene oxides which comprises liquid extraction of crude butylene oxides with a solvent comprising acyclic, paraffinic hydrocarbons having from 7 to 9 carbon atoms per molecule.

Water removal from butylene oxides by liquid extraction with selected

Residual products obtained in the catalytic dehydration of alpha-methylbenzyl alcohol are treated to recover increased quantities of ethylbenzene by a process which comprises thermally cracking the residual products in the substantial absence of hydrogen under elevated pressures.
