The apparatus described herein comprises a first reaction chamber having an inlet for a hydrocarbon medium, particularly a gas having the composition CH, and an outlet. Means for decomposing the hydrocarbons into carbon particles and hydrogen by introducing heat are provided between the inlet and the outlet in the first reaction chamber. The apparatus also comprises a second reaction chamber having an elongated configuration and having a first inlet at one end and an outlet at the opposite end, wherein the first inlet of the second reaction chamber is connected with the outlet of the first reaction chamber, and wherein the second reaction chamber comprises a widening flow cross-section (measured perpendicular to the longitudinal dimension of the second reaction chamber) between the inlet and the outlet. In addition, at least one second inlet into the second reaction chamber is provided, wherein the second inlet can be connected to a source for COand/or HO. Preferably, the second inlet is connected with a source of CO, and therefore COis injected therewith during operation. A method for operating this apparatus is also described. The energy balance of a synthesis gas production can be improved with the apparatus and the method for operating compared with known methods.

Apparatus and method for producing a synthesis gas

The present blast furnace and method for operating a blast furnace are able to reduce COproduction and the amount of applied additives and heating material. The method for metal production of metal ores comprising the following steps: reducing a metal ore, particularly a metal oxide, and thereby producing furnace gas containing COin a blast furnace shaft; discharging the furnace gas from the blast furnace shaft; directing at least a portion of the furnace gas into a COconverter and reducing the COin the furnace gas into CO; directing at least a portion of the CO from the COconverter into the blast furnace shaft. The method produces CO as a gaseous reduction agent which may be easily introduced into the blast furnace shaft. Further, a blast furnace for metal production by reducing a metal ore designed for operating according to the method is described.

Blast furnace and method for operating a blast furnace

A process for processing metal ore includes: reducing a metal ore, particularly a metallic oxide, in a blast furnace shaft; producing furnace gas containing CO, in the blast furnace shaft; discharging the furnace gas from the blast furnace shaft; directing at least a portion of the furnace gas directly or indirectly into a CO-converter; and converting the COcontained in the furnace gas into an aerosol consisting of a carrier gas and C-particles in the CO-converter in the presence of a stoichiometric surplus of C; directing at least a first portion of the aerosol from the CO-converter into the blast furnace shaft; and introducing HO into the blast furnace shaft. By virtue of the reaction C+HO&#x2192;CO+2H, nascent hydrogen is produced in the blast furnace which causes rapid reduction of the metal ore. The speed of reduction of the metal ore is thus increased, and it is possible to increase either the throughput capacity of the blast furnace or to reduce the size of the blast furnace. An aerosol in the form of a fluid is easily introducible into the blast furnace shaft.

A process and an apparatus for converting carbon dioxide COinto carbon monoxide CO using hydrocarbons are described. In further embodiments, processes and apparatuses for generating synthesis gas and processes and apparatuses for converting synthesis gas into synthetic functionalised and/or non-functionalised hydrocarbons using COand hydrocarbons are described. The processes and apparatuses are adapted to convert COemitted by industrial processes, and thus the amount of carbon dioxide emitted into the atmosphere may be reduced.

Process and system for conversion of carbon dioxide to carbon monixide

A method for producing &#xbe;-rich synthesis gas comprises the following steps: decomposing a hydrocarbon-containing fluid into an H/C-aerosol in a first hydrocarbon converter by supplying energy which is at least partly provided in the form of heat; introducing at least a first stream of the H/C-aerosol into a first sub-process which comprises the following steps: directing at least a part of the H/C-aerosol from the first hydrocarbon converter into a first C-converter; introducing COinto the first C-converter and mixing the COwith the H/C-aerosol introduced into the first C-converter; converting the mixture of H/C-aerosol and COinto a synthesis gas at a temperature of 800 to 1700&#xb0; C.; mixing additional Hwith the synthesis gas for the production of H-rich synthesis gas. In a second sub-process running in parallel with the first sub-process, hydrogen Hand carbon dioxide COare produced from a hydrocarbon-containing fluid, wherein at least a portion of the COproduced in the second sub-process is introduced into the first C-converter; and wherein at least a portion of the Hproduced in the second sub-process is mixed with the synthesis gas from the first C-converter. The COwhich is needed for the conversion of C in the first C-converter can thereby be provided independently of an external source, and the entire operational sequence is easily controllable.

Process and system for conversion of carbon dioxide to carbon monoxide

A method and an apparatus for generating synthesis gas using hydrocarbons and water are described. In further embodiments of the method and the apparatus, synthesis gases having any desired CO/hydrogen ratio and/or synthetic functionalized and/or non-functionalized hydrocarbons are generated.
