INTEGRATED REACTORS, METHODS OF MAKING SAME, AND METHODS OF CONDUCTING SIMULTANEOUS EXOTHERMIC AND ENDOTHERMIC REACTIONS

摘要

Integrated Combustion Reactors (ICRs) and methods of making ICRs are describ ed in which combustion chambers (or channels) (12) are in direct thermal contac t to reaction chambers for an endothermic reaction (115). Superior results wer e achieved for combustion chambers which contained a gap (18, 19) for free flo w through the chamber. Particular reactor designs are also described. Processe s of conducting reactions in integrated combustion reactors are described and results presented. Some of these processes are characterized by unexpected a nd superior results.
