Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
82 words
A method of producing a synthesis gas for the manufacture of vinyl chloride which comprises feeding a gaseous or vaporized hydrocarbon into an intermediate gas plasma jet, said intermediate gas plasma jet being selected from the group consisting of chlorine, hydrogen chloride and mixtures thereof with hydrogen, and mixing the hydrocarbon with the intermediate gas plasma jet to heat the hydrocarbon by a rotary electric arc supplying additional heat to the gas and said gas plasma jet by said rotary electric arc.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
82 words
A method of producing a synthesis gas for the manufacture of vinyl chloride which comprises feeding a gaseous or vaporized hydrocarbon into an intermediate gas plasma jet, said intermediate gas plasma jet being selected from the group consisting of chlorine, hydrogen chloride and mixtures thereof with hydrogen, and mixing the hydrocarbon with the intermediate gas plasma jet to heat the hydrocarbon by a rotary electric arc supplying additional heat to the gas and said gas plasma jet by said rotary electric arc.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
31 words
A method as claimed in claim 1, whereby said intermediate gas plasma jet is produced by heating said gas with an electric arc connected in series with said rotary electric arc.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
27 words
A method as claimed in claim 2, wherein said rotary electric arc and the arc for heating the intermediate gas are combined as a single electric arc.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
26 words
A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the electric arc is rotated by blowing said arc with a swirling jet of intermediate heat carrier gas.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
22 words
A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the electric arc is rotated by a swirling jet of gas to be heated.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
17 words
A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the electric arc is rotated by a magnetic field.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
18 words
A method as claimed in claim 4, wherein the electric arc is rotated additionally by a magnetic field.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
17 words
A method as claimed in claim 5, wherein the electric arc is rotated by a magnetic field.
