Claim 1
Independent Claim
119 words
THE METHOD OF CONVERTING CARBON TO ELECTRICAL ENERGY WHICH COMPRISES REACTING STEAM AND CARBON IN A GASIFICATION ZONE UNDER CONDITIONS CONDUCIVE TO THE FORMATION OF A GASEOUS PRODUCT CONTAINING PRINCIPALLY CO AND H2, CIRCULATING SAID GASEOUS PRODUCT AND AN OXIDIZING GAS SEPARATELY THROUGH AN ELECTROCHEMICAL REACTION ZONE AT AN ELEVATED TEMPERATURE WHEREBY SAID GASEOUS PRODUCT IS OXIDIZED AND ITS HEAT OF COMBUSTION IS CONVERTED IN PART TO ELECTRICAL ENERGY, MAINTAINING THE TEMPERATURE OF SAID ELECTROCHEMICAL ZONE BY THE HEAT OF COMBUSTION OF SAID GASEOUS PRODUCT ABOVE THAT REQUIRED TO REACT STEAM AND CARBON, CONDUCTING THE ELECTROCHEMICAL REACTION IN HEAT EXCHANGE RELATION WITH SAID GASIFICATION ZONE TO THEREBY PROVIDE HEAT FOR THE STEAM-CARBON REACTION, AND RECOVERING THE ELECTRICAL ENERGY PRODUCED.
