Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
146 words
IN A PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF CARBON MONOXIDE AND HYDROGEN FROM AN ASH-FORMING LIQUID HYDROCARBON CONTAINING VANADIUM AND NICKEL WHEREIN SAID HYDROCARBON IS SUBJECTED TO A PARTIAL COMBUSTION REACTION WITH STEAM AND FREE OXYGEN AT A TEMPERATURE ABOVE 2,000*F. IN A REACTION ZONE FREE FROM CATALYST AND PACKING, THE IMPROVEMENT WHICH COMPRISES INTRODUCING SAID REACTANTS INTO SAID REACTION ZONE IN RELATIVE PROPORTIONS SUCH THAT A PORTION OF THE CARBON CONTAINED IN SAID HYDROCARBON IS UNCOMBINED AND IS LIBERATED AS A CARBONACEOUS SOLID TOGETHER WITH ASH FROM SAID HYDROCARBON AND THE WEIGHT OF THE CARBON LIBERATED AS A SOLID BY SAID REACTION IS AT LEAST 50 TIMES THE COMBINED WEIGHTS OF THE NICKEL AND VANADIUM CONTAINED IN SAID LIQUID HYDROCARBON SUPPLIED TO THE REACTION ZONE, AND CONTINUOUSLY REMOVING FROM THE REACTION ZONE GASEOUS PRODUCTS OF REACTION AND SAID CARBONACEOUS SOLID COMBINED WITH ASH FROM SAID HYDROCARBON.
