METHOD OF COMBINED PRODUCTION OF SYNTHESIS-GAS AND ELECTRIC ENERGY Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC C01B3/36 

FIELD: chemistry.

SUBSTANCE: invention can be used in chemical industry and in power engineering. Synthesis-gas 50, containing at least CO and H₂ and having first temperature at least 900°C, is obtained at stage 12 by reaction of hydrocarbon raw material with oxygen. At the stage of air separation 16 in ionite membrane unit 16.1 flow of permeate 42, consisting mainly of oxygen, and flow of oxygen depleted air 44, which has second temperature, lower than first and equal to at least 600°C, are obtained. Flow 44 is indirectly heated 24 to at least 900°C by synthesis-gas 50 and partially expanded in turbine 28 to produce electric energy with obtaining partially expanded discharge flow of oxygen-depleted air 54. Cooled synthesis-gas 58 is supplied for additional cooling into waste heat boiler 26, and then to the stage of synthesis of hydrocarbons 30. In compressor 22 pressure of permeate flow 42 is increased and it is supplied to stage 12 of synthesis-gas obtaining. Flow of compressed air 38 is heated 20 to temperature not lower than 700°C by transmission of heat from the stage of nuclear reaction.

EFFECT: invention provides utilisation of nuclear reaction heat and obtaining flows with high energy content with absence of harmful emissions.
