Controlling reaction temperatures

Claim 1

A PROCESS FOR CONTROLLING THE TEMPERATURES OF HIGHLY EXOTHERMIC CHEMICAL REACTIONS WHICH COMPRISES, PASSING A MULTIPLICITY OF NARROW CONFINED ELONGATED STREAMS CONSISTING ESSENTIALLY OF GASEOUS REACTANTS AT TEMPERATURES ABOVE 900* F. THROUGH AND IN INDIRECT HEAT EXCHANGE RELATIONSHIP WITH A RELATIVELY LARGE PERMANENT BODY OF FINELY DIVIDED FLUIDIZED SOLID MATERIAL HAVING A MELTING POINT ABOVE THE DESIRED REACTION TEMPERATURE, PASSING A FLUIDIZING GAS UPWARDLY THROUGH SAID BODY OF SOLIDS AT A VELOCITY ADJUSTED MAINTAIN A TURBULENT DENSE FLUIDIZED LAYER OF SOLIDS ON WHICH IS SUPERPOSED A DISPERSED PHASE, WITHDRAWING REACTION PRODUCTS FROM THE MULTIPLICITY OF CONFINED STREAMS AND SEPARATELY WITHDRAWING FLUIDIZING GAS FROM SAID BODY OF SOLIDS, THE AMOUNT OF SAID SOLIDS BEING LARGE AS COMPARED WITH THE WEIGHT OF THE REACTANT PRESENT IN THE CONFINED STREAMS SO THAT THE FLUIDIZED SOLIDS ARE CAPABLE OF ABSORBING LARGE QUANTITIES OF HEAT WITH ONLY A SMALL RISE IN TEMPERATURE AND CONTROLLING THE TEMPERATURE OF SAID DENSE LAYER TO PREVENT UNDUE RISE THEREIN BY MAINTAINING A COOLING HEAT EXCHANGE MEDIUM IN A ZONE WHICH IS IMMERSED WITHIN AND INDIRECT HEAT EXCHANGE WITH SAID DENSE LAYER, REMOVING HEAT EXCHANGE MEDIUM FROM SAID HEAT EXCHANGE ZONE, COOLING SAID HEAT EXCHANGE MEDIUM AND RETURNING IT TO SAID HEAT EXCHANGE ZONE TO REMOVE HEAT FROM SAID DENSE LAYER AND MAINTAIN SAID REACTION TEMPEATURE WITHIN THE DESIRED LIMITS.
