Copyright: Thomas Schall & Jörn Matthies, 2022, Institut für Chemische Verfahrenstechnik, Universität Stuttgart The transition to renewable energy sources in the chemical industry requires new thinking in the design of reactors with electrical heat sources. The use of directly heated ceramics in high temperature reaction technology offers new process designs at extreme temperatures. The cover picture shows a view into one of the novel ceramic reactors of the eOCMC concept at 1200 °C. We propose the use of a composite tube in which a thin metallic layer is embedded between ceramic layers. Only the inner layer is monolithic ceramic, while the outer layer is fiber-reinforced ceramic. In initial tests, the eOCMC reactor exceeded the softening point of the metallic heater with a maximum operating temperature of 1250 °C and a maximum heat output of 85 kW m–2 without showing any material changes.
