TREATMENT OF RECYCLING GAS FOR DIRECT THERMOCHEMICAL CONVERSION OF HIGH MOLECULAR WEIGHT ORGANIC SUBSTANCES INTO LOW VISCOSITY LIQUID RAW MATERIALS, COMBUSTIBLES AND FUELS

摘要

The invention relates to a method for the direct thermochemical conversion of high molecular weight organic starting products into low molecular weight organic products that are liquid with a low viscosity at ambient temperature and can be combusted. Said method consists of the following steps: (1) the starting product, at least one reducing gas and slow-evaporating product fractions are provided in a reactor, (2) the provided starting material is rapidly heated to a reaction temperature, (3) said starting material is converted using the temperature, the reducing effect of the gas and autocatalytical effects of the product fractions in vaporous reaction products and reaction gas, (4) the reaction gas is separated by means of condensation by evacuating the condensed reaction products, said separated reaction gas comprising a mixture of hydrogen, methane and other hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. Said claimed method is characterised by other additional steps: (5) the separated reaction gas is conditioned by discharging at least one part of the gas mixture and optionally, introducing hydrogen, said conditioning followed by (6) re-injecting the conditioned reaction gas into the reactor for simultaneously producing a hydrating, reducing and stripping effect for converting the starting material. According to the invention, the amount of active gas fractions and its part in the total flow of the reaction gas can be modified in an advantageous manner, thus increasing the effectiveness of the method and leading to an improvement of the target product quality and yield with total lower production costs. The invention also relates to a method for carrying out the claimed method.
