VERFAHREN ZUM REFORMIEREN VON HOEHEREN KOHLENWASSERSTOFFEN UND ZUR REDUKTION VON METALLOXIDEN

摘要

A method for utilizing pentane and higher hydrocarbons in a shaft furnace direct reduction process without any special treatment and without any special reforming catalyst, and in particular a method for the reforming of such higher hydrocarbons in conjunction with the direct reduction of metallic oxides by cracking and partial reformation of such gases within the shaft furnace prior to stoichiometric reformation of the gases.
