Abstract
Abstract Experiments in a tubular flow reactor with an indirect oil quencher were carried out to determine the temperatures at which the elementary reactions in thermal coupling of methane were terminated. The results indicated that it is not necessary to quench the product gas to room temperature. Simulations showed that very few reactions take place at temperatures below 800 °C in the residence time range from 0 to 1 s. This shows the possibility of recovering energy from the product gases. The yield of ethylene increased whereas the yield of acetylene decreased when the temperature in the lower part of the reactor system was decreased. The experiments were verified with simulations. The results support the idea that it may be possible to optimize the ethylene/acetylene ratio with respect to quenching time and temperature.
