METHOD OF THERMAL CRACKING OF HYDROCARBONS

摘要

Thermal cracking apparatus in which the reaction transfer, quenching and separation are carried out in circulating molten metals which are maintained molten by circulation through a preheater tube prior to circulation through the reaction tube. The preheater tube and the reaction tube are heated by burners. Feed stock or a diluent such as steam is sprayed into the quenching tower through the reaction tube to assist the circulation.
