Definitions

• This invention relates to. a process for producing nitrogen-hydrogen mixtures by splitting hydrocarbons by means of steam and air.
• hydrocarbons are converted into carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide and hydrogen respectively by passing the gases with the addition'of steam at an increased temperature over catalytically acting substances.
• splitting of hydrocarbons by means of oxygen, using air, for instance.
• a further improvement in the development of the process consists in working in two stages dif- .fering from one another in heat effect in such a way that in the fi rst'stage carried out at a lower temperature an endothermic reaction is generated, while in thesecond stage an exothermic reaction is produced.
• the air necessary for the complete splitting-up of methane is only supplied just before or atthat moment in which the gas mixture is admitted to the second stage, whereby it is useful to have the air, prior to. I its admission, pre-heated to the reaction temperature.
• the steam-containing gas air-mixture is passed over the nickel at an increased temperature, a part i of the first-stage products, inter alia the excess of hydrogen evolved, is oxidized to water.
• the amount ofheat liberated thereby is sufiicient to heat the steam-containing mixture of gas and air to a temperature ensuring a perfect conversion of the methane into carbon monoxide and hydrogen. Therefore, supposing good insulation, the second stage can be carried out without additional external heating.
• a process for the production of nitrogenhydrogen mixtures by first splitting in known manner hydrocarbons by means of steam and airin the presence of catalytically acting substances, converting thereafter the carbon monoxide of the gas mixture so obtained to carbon dioxide by passing this gas'mixture over a catalytically acting substance in the presence of steam, andfinally causing absorption of the carbon dioxide, said process 'of producing nitrogen-hydrogen mixtures consisting therein that it is carried out intwo stages, the first of which constitutes the endothermic part of the process and consists in converting only a part ofthe hydrocarbon withthe aid of .steam chiefly into carbon monoxide by means, and
• a process for the production of nitrogenhyclrogen mixtures by first splitting in known manner hydrocarbons by means of steam and air in the presence of catalyticallyacting substances, converting thereafter the carbon monoxide of the gas mixture so obtained to carbon dioxide by passing-this gas mixture over a cat- ,alytically acting substance in the presence of steam, and finally causing absorption of the carbon dioxide, said process of producing nitrogenhydrogen mixtures consisting therein that it is carried out in two stages, the first of which constitutes the endothermic part of the process and consists in converting only a part of the hydrocarbon with the aid of steam chiefly into carbon monoxide by means, and with the consumption, of heat, and the second of which con-' stitutes the exothermic part of the process-and :manner hydrocarbons by ,means of steam and air in the presence of catalytically acting substances converting thereafter the carbon monoxide of the gas mixture so obtained to carbon dioxide by passing this gas mixture over a catalytically acting substance in the presence of steam,
