A method for the operation of combustion devices such as burners and internal-combustion engines, in which liquid hydrocarbon such as straight-run gasoline, heating oil and diesel fuel, are mixed with gasification primary air, and the resulting mixture is conducted into a reaction chamber containing metal bodies composed of an Al-Si eutectic with a primary phase of form about 15 to about 35 weight percent of silicon distributed therein, and in which from about 5 to about 30 weight percent of the aluminum is in the form of alpha -Al2O3, and in which from about 1 to about 10 weight percent of the silicon is in the form of beta -SiC, where the liquid hydrocarbon is partially oxidized at elevated temperatures into a soot-free fuel gas mixture containing carbon monoxide, hydrogen and gaseous hydrocarbons, and the fuel gas mixture is mixed with secondary air and the fuel gas/secondary air mixture is conducted into the combustion device. |
