Abstract:
A process for the partial oxidation of hydrocarbons, comprising the steps of:feeding a hydrocarbon flow into a reaction chamber; feeding a free oxygen flow into said reaction chamber; said flows being fed to said reaction chamber independently, one from the other, and without being mixed together; mixing and reacting a first portion of said free oxygen flow with a first flow comprising reacted gases circulating within said reaction chamber; simultaneously mixing a second portion of said free oxygen flow with said hydrocarbon flow in said reaction chamber, obtaining a flow comprising both hydrocarbons and free oxygen at least partly mixed together; mixing and reacting said flow comprising both hydrocarbons and free oxygen at least partly mixed together with a second flow comprising reacted gases circulating inside said reaction chamber, obtaining a gas flow comprising hydrogen and carbon monoxide.
