PROCESS AND APPARATUS FOR PRODUCING A HYDROGEN-CONTAINING GAS

摘要

A process for producing a hydrogen-containing gas comprising the following steps: (i) cracking hydrocarbonaceous material substantially in the absence of steam into carbon and hydrogen-containing gas by contacting said material with a heated mass of non-fluidized solids and allowing carbon to deposit on the solids; and (ii) steam gasification of carbon formed in step (i). The invention further relates to an apparatus for carrying out said process.
