Disclosure is made of a method and apparatus for reacting carbonaceousmaterial such as pulverized coal with heated hydrogen to form hydrocarbon gases and liquids suitable for conversion to fuels wherein the reaction involves injection of pulverized coal entrained in a minimum amount of gas and mixing theentrained coal at ambient temperature with a separate source of heated hydrogen.The heated hydrogen and entrained coal are injected through a rocket engine typeinjector device. The coal particles are reacted with hydrogen in a reaction chamber downstream of the injector. The products of reaction are rapidly quenched as they exit the reacting chamber and are subsequently collected. |
