Reactor for carrying out endothermal catalytic reactions

摘要

A reactor for carrying out endothermic catalysed reactions has heating channels (3) reaction channels running parallel to each other. The walls of the channels are made of a refractory ceramic that is not permeable to gas. The reaction channels contain a catalyst for the reaction and the heating channels a catalyst for the combustion of fuel gas. The catalyst material in both cases is in the form of a lining on the internal walls of the channels. The reaction and heating channels are arranged in a monolithic block. Also claimed is the use of such reactors for carrying out such reactions.
