Abstract

247,176. Patart, G. Feb. 7. 1925. [Convention date]. Void [Published under Sect. 91 of the Act]. Methyl alcohol; oxygenated organic compounds.-Mixtures of carbon monoxide and hydrogen for the catalytic production of methyl alcohol and other oxygenated organic compounds are obtained by the incomplete combustion of methane. The methane is mixed with about one-half its volume of oxygen and the mixture injected into a mass of coke maintained at a high temperature of about 1000‹ C. The coke may be replaced by wood, charcoal, coal, or a refractory substance. The gases pass, preferably in a horizontal direction, through two nozzles which are symmetrically disposed at the lower part of a chamber containing the incandescent mass. It is advantageous to preheat the injected gases, preferably at the expense of the heat of the issuing gases; the nozzles may be protected by water circulation. The issuing gases consist substantially of carbon monoxide and hydrogen in the volume proportion of 1 : 2, but a deficiency of hydrogen may be made up with fresh gas. Usually the heat produced by the combustion suffices to maintain the reaction temperature; if not the percentage of oxygen employed may be slightly increased to effect combustion of a part of the fuel. The ash from this combustion may be either withdrawn by the gas current, or melted by periodic injection of excess of oxygen, preferably in presence of a flux, and discharged in the molten state. The methane may be obtained from natural gas or coal distillation gases, or may be separated from the products obtained in the methyl alcohol synthesis itself.
