Claims priority, application Germany September 22, 1954 9 Claims. (Cl. 260-679) This invention relates to a process of interacting hydrocarbons, in particular, gaseous saturated aliphatic hydrocarbons with oxygen. More particularly, the invention concerns'the reaction of a hydrocarbon with such an amount of oxygen which is insufficient for the complete combustion of the hydrocarbons.
It is well known that hydrocarbons may be reacted with a limited amount of oxygen which is insuflicient for the complete combustion of the hydrocarbons, for instance, in order to manufacture acetylene or mixtures of carbon monoxide and hydrogen. Such processes are often carried out by preheating separately the initial gases, mixing them in a mixing chamber, and then introducing this mixture into a reaction chamber wherein the interaction takes place with or without the formation of a flame.
A particular difficulty of these reactions consists in the fact that the gases to be reacted must be mixed under such conditions that they react immediately in the reaction chamber or reaction zone while, on the other hand, an interaction in the mixing chamber or mixing zone must be avoided in order to be able to operate continuously and to obtain a high yield.
It is, however, even with great care, sometimes impossible to avoid the occurrence of premature reactions in the mixing zone. In such an event, the oxygen supply is stopped whereby the reaction is interrupted in the mixing zone and also in the reaction zone.
It is an object of this invention therefore to overcome these difliculties and to provide an improved process for the interaction of hydrocarbons with a limited amount of oxygen.
Another object is to provide a process for interrupting premature interactions of mixtures of a hydrocarbon and a limited amount of oxygen which is insuflicient for the complete combustion of the hydrocarbon in the mixing chamber or mixing zone without interrupting the interaction of the hydrocarbon with the oxygen in the reaction zone or reaction chamber.
These and other objects and advantages which will be apparent from a more detailed description of the invention are accomplished by introducing into the mixing chamber or mixing zone for a short period of time, an inert gas when and if an interaction of the gases to be mixed takes place in the mixing chamber or mixing zone. By the introduction of the inert gas, the interaction of the gas mixture is stopped without interrupting the reaction in the reaction chamber or reaction zone. The inert gases are particularly eflicient if they are added to the oxygen stream before the oxygen stream enters into the mixing zone.
The particular merit of this invention consists in the fact that the interaction between the hydrocarbon and the oxygen can be performed continuously and that the reaction mixture is diluted only for a short time by an inert gas, the process, therefore, having ahigher yield. Such a procedure is advantageous against the discontinuous method described before wherein the oxygen supply is temporarily completely interrupted, and it is also advantageous against a process with a continuous dilution of the reaction mixture by permanently adding a. corresponding amount of an inert gas to the reaction mixture or by performing the reaction in the absence of an inert gas but under reduced pressure. 7
In order to interrupt a reaction of the gas mixture in the mixing zone, a relatively strong blow of the inert gas but only for a short period of time is required. As a rule, at least from 10 to by volume of the inert gas with reference to the volume of the oxygen are used. Advantageously, the amount of inert gas should be even higher, for instance, 40% or about 100% by volume with reference to the volume of the oxygen. While using such an amount of inert gas, premature interactions in the mixing zone are stopped within a few minutes, mostly Within less than one minute. Suitable inert gases are, for instance, steam, nitrogen or carbon dioxide. As a rule, the process of this invention is performed under atmospheric pressure but higher or lower pressures may also be used.
The invention is of particular interest for the interaction of oxygen with methane or other saturated gaseous aliphatic hydrocarbons or gas mixtures containing such hydrocarbons, the lower aliphatic hydrocarbons being especially important. r
According to a particular advantageous embodiment of the invention, the introduction of the inert gas into the mixing zone is automatically coupled with a signal or t a device which indicatesthe occurrence of premature reand thus opens the electrically-actuated valve 9.
actions in the mixing zone. Such a signal may be released, for instance, by the increase of the pressure or of the temperature in the mixing zone.
The following examples are given in order to illustrate but not to limit the invention.
Example 1 In a first preheater 1800 cubic meters measured at normal temperature and pressure (N. T. P.) of methane per hour and in a second preheater 1050 cubic-meters (N. T. P.) of oxygen per hour are heated to 600 C. The hot gases are fed to a mixer of the type illustrated in Figure l, the methane entering through line 1 and the oxygen entering through line 2. The gases meet at point 3 and are mixed in the mixing chamber 4. Through the parallel channels 5 the gas mixture passes into the reaction chamber 6 where the oxygen and the methane react with flame formation. The reaction gases are cooled by injecting water through nozzles 7. The gas mixture obtained with a yield of 3400 cubic meters per hour (N.T.P.) contains about 8.5% of acetylene.
In normal operation the pressure will be lower at the mixing point 3'than at the end of the mixing chamber 4. However, if the mixture of oxygen and methane comes to ignite already in chamber 4, the pressure becomes higher at point 3 than at the end of chamber 4. As a result, the differential manometer 8 which is connected to chamber 3 andlchamber 4 closes an electric current Y valve 9 nitrogen is allowed to pass through line 10 into the oxygen supply pipe 2 and thence into the mixing chamber 4 where, as a result, the flame reaction is subdued. As soon as the flame has become extinguished, the initial pressures are set up again and the valve 9 is closed. The flame only takes about 2 seconds to become extinguished, the quantity of nitrogen needed being about 250 liters. The said flame extinguishing regulation will not aflect the flame reaction in chamber 6 to any notable extent.
