<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a carbon monoxide gas generation apparatus which enables a high yield of carbon monoxide and operation with reduced maintenance. <P>SOLUTION: The apparatus includes a reactor adapted to have a hydrocarbon gas, an oxygen gas and steam introduced therein as raw gases and cause the raw gases to undergo contact reaction on a catalyst to thereby carry out combustion reaction and transformation reaction of the hydrocarbon gas into a carbon monoxide gas as a mixed gas which is rich in hydrogen gas and high in carbon monoxide gas concentration. Further, a gas containing hydrogen is introduced at the downstream of the reactor. Thereby, a high yield of the carbon monoxide and the operation with reduced maintenance are made possible. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT |
