Abstract:
1. A method for processing hydrocarbons comprising: vaporizing a portion of a hydrocarbon in the presence of gasified hydrocarbons, hydrogen, combustion gas, and solids to provide a vaporized gas; cracking a portion of the hydrocarbon in the presence of the gasified hydrocarbons, the hydrogen, the combustion gas, and the solids to provide a cracked gas; depositing a portion of the hydrocarbon onto the solids to provide hydrocarbon containing solids; selectively separating at least a portion of the hydrocarbon containing solids to provide separated hydrocarbon containing solids and a hot gas product, wherein the hot gas product comprises the vaporized gas, the cracked gas, the gasified hydrocarbons, the hydrogen, and the combustion gas, and wherein the hot gas product is at a temperature of from about 400° C. to about 1,650° C.; combusting a portion of the hydrocarbon containing solids in the presence of an oxidant to provide the combustion gas; and gasifying a portion of the hydrocarbon containing solids to provide the gasified hydrocarbons and the hydrogen.
