Abstract:
1. A method of reforming carbonaceous matter comprising: providing a reforming reactor comprising a reduction reaction chamber having a first longitudinal axis and an oxidation reaction chamber having a second longitudinal axis, the first and second longitudinal axes being substantially orthogonally intersecting with respect to each other; introducing, at the same time, oxygen gas and syngas into the oxidation reaction chamber through inlets comprising a plurality of oxygen gas inlets and a syngas inlet, said oxygen gas inlets being angularly disposed with respect to each other and to the syngas inlet, the syngas inlet being collinear with the second longitudinal axis of the oxidation reaction chamber so that the plural supplies of oxygen converge with each other and with the supply of syngas; converting oxygen gas and syngas into super-hot steam and CO supplying the super-hot steam and CO introducing a feedstock comprising a carbonaceous matter at a bottom of the reduction reaction chamber; and reforming and reducing the carbonaceous matter to syngas in the reduction reaction chamber at a temperature above 1200° C.
