| 摘要 |
The present invention relates to an ablative thermolysis reactor (12) comprising a reaction vessel (20), and inlet (14) into the reaction vessel (20) for receiving feedstock, and an outlet from the reaction vessel (20) fo r discharging thermolysis product. Within the reaction vessel (20), is provide d an ablative surface (20a) defining the periphery of a cylinder, and heating means (22) are arranged to heat the ablative surface (20a) to an elevated temperature. In addition at least one rotatable surface (28) is provided, th e or each rotatable surface (28) having an axis of rotation coincident with th e longitudinal axis of said cylinder. The rotatable surface (28) is provided relative to the ablative surface (20a) such that feedstock is pressed betwee n a part of the rotatable surface (28) and said ablative surface (20a) and mov ed along the ablative surface (20a) by the rotatable surface (28), whereby to thermolyse said feedstock.
