Experimental study of gasification of vacuum residue in metal melt by alternating reactor feeding with carbonaceous feedstock and oxidant

Аннотация

Processes occurring in a metal melt during plasma-assisted melt gasification of carbonaceous feedstock have been studied in the mode of alternating feeding the reactor with the carbonaceous feedstock and oxidant. Vacuum residue was used as an oxygen-free carbonaceous material, and air and steam were used as an oxidant. The results of the study show that by alternating the carbonaceous-feedstock pyrolysis step and the step of carbon oxidation in the metal melt, it is possible to produce synthesis gas with any desired H₂/CO ratio.
