    摘要: The invention relates to a method for producing hydrogen gas and optionally a carbonaceous product from a hydrocarbon fuel, comprising: introducing a flowing stream of said fuel into a reaction chamber of a reactor, wherein said reaction chamber has at least one wall and a heating zone which is heated by a heat source, heating said fuel in said heating zone to effect pyrolytic decomposition of said hydrocarbon fuel to produce said hydrogen gas and optionally said carbonaceous product; wherein the ratio of C:O (mol/mol) in the reaction chamber is greater than 20:1; and characterized in that the heat source heats the hydrocarbon fuel in the heating zone by radiated heat to an average temperature of greater than 2000° C. The invention also relates to an apparatus for carrying out the method of the invention.

    摘要: An apparatus (100) for the pyrolytic decomposition of a hydrocarbon fuel into a plurality of products including a reaction chamber (102) and an electrically conducting coil (104) surrounding the reaction chamber (102). The reaction chamber (102) has an inlet, for supplying hydrocarbon fuel into the reaction chamber (102) and an outlet for the products of the pyrolytic decomposition, and the electrically conducting coil (104) surrounds the reaction chamber (102) between the inlet and the outlet. The electrically conducting coil (102) receives an alternating current and heats the reaction chamber (102) by induction.
