Claim 1
Independent Claim
145 words
A PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF ACETYLENE BY PARTIAL OXIDATION OF A PARAFFINIC HYDROCARBON WITH OXYGEN, WHICH COMPRISES SEPARATELY HEATING THE PARAFFINIC HYDROCARBON AND OXYGEN TO A TEMPERATURE OF AT LEAST 700*C. AND NOT MORE THAN 1200*C. INJECTING THE HEATED PARAFFINIC HYDROCARBON AND OXYGEN INTO A MIXING CHAMBER OF CIRCULAR CROSS SECTION AND A GIVEN DIAMETER, SAID HYDROCARBON STREAM BEING INJECTED IN SAID MIXING CHAMBER AS A HOLLOW FRUSTO-CONICAL SHAPED GASEOUS STREAM CONVERGING AT AN ANGLE OF 10* TO 45* AT A VELOCITY EQUAL TO AT LEAST 90 PERCENT OF SONIC VELOCITY AND SAID OXYGEN STREAM BEING INJECTED IN SAID MIXING CHAMBER AS A GASEOUS STREAM WITHIN THE HYDROCARBON STREAM AT A VELOCITY EQUAL TO AT LEAST 90 PERCENT OF SONIC VELOCITY, CONFINING THE INJECTED HYDROCARBON AND OXYGEN GASES IN THE MIXING CHAMBER TO PASS SAID GASES THROUGH THE MIXING CHAMBER AT A VELOCITY EQUAL
