Abstract:
A method of converting hydrocarbons comprising:step a) passing a gaseous or liquid feed into a circulating fluidized-bed reactor having a reaction space wherein particulate matter is in the fluidized state;step b) converting the feed at a temperature of 100-1300.degree. C.; andstep c) removing the converted hydrocarbon productswherein said circulating fluidized-bed reactor (1-3; 41-43) has an axially annular cross section and is equipped with a multi-inlet cyclone (14, 17; 52, 63) disposed along an upper end, and inside, of the reactor for the separation of the particulate matter from the converted hydrocarbon products.
