SIMPLIFIED LIQUEFACTION PYROLYSIS PROCESS AND APPARATUS THEREFOR

摘要

Carbonaceous materials are pyrolyzed by simultaneous feed of the carbonaceous materials and a particulate source of heat to a cyclone reactor-separator wherein the centrifugal forces separate the vaporized product of pyrolysis from the solids. The carbon in the solids is partially combusted for recycle to the cyclone reactor separator and the vapourized products quenched and recovered. The yield of liquid hydrocarbons may be maximized.
