Process for the production of carbon monoxide BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to a process for the pro-diction of carbon monoxide in a water-cooled generator which has the form of a truncated cone in longitudinal section. The generator is filled with carbon and by gasification of carbon with a mixture of oxygen and carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide is produced.
The production of carbon monoxide from coal and oxygen has long been known and is practiced on a large industrial scale. In most cases truncated, cone-shaped generators are used hazing a volume of, for example, 4 my which are fed with coke from above through a gate and subjected to oxygen through one or more water-cooled nozzles at the bottom of the generator. If coke is present in excess, most of the carbon monoxide is formed in a combustion zone, which is at a temperature above 1800C, surrounding toe stream of oxygen emerging from the nozzles at high velocity The carbon monoxide is withdrawn at the top of the generator. The heat of reaction is in most cases removed by cooling water in the cooling jacket surrounding the generator. Steam generation is also possible, as described in DEMOS No.
1,95~,517.
The process descried above was the disa~vanta~e, firstly, that the slag left from combustion of the coke accumulates at the bottom of the venerator. This may considerably impair the efficiency of the nozzle(s) also located at the bottom. damage by burning causes water to enter the generator and hydrogen appears in the production gas causing subsequent processing to be very e A 22 499 -c-31 aye difficult or even dangerous. In any case, continuous removal of slag is not possible.
Another disadvantage is that the volumetric output of a conventional generator is limited by heat genera-lion as a result of the highly exothermic reaction of carbon with oxygen. Thus, for example, in a generator having a volume of 4 my supplied with pure oxygen, the maximum carbon monoxide production achieved is 140 m3/h, which corresponds to a volumetric output of 35 my of CO/h x my of generator volume. An improvement in the heat transfer may be achieved by the introduction of a truncated cone-shaped hollow core which may be cooled, as described in DEMOS No. 2,046,172. Considerably more effective is the addition of carbon dioxide to the oxygen fed into the generator since the reaction between carbon dioxide and carbon is highly endothermic.
The output of a generator of 4 my capacity may in this way be increased to a volumetric output of 60 my CO/h x my generator volume. The meld gas used in this case may have an OKAY ratio of 2:1. With this method, however, the output is still limited by the rate at which heat may be removed in the region of the nozzle.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is therefore an object ox the present inane-lion to provide a process for the production of carbon monoxide which may be carried out more efficiently and does not kayo the above-described disadvantages ox the known processes.
A process which fulfill all these requirements in -30 a particularly advantageous manner has now surprisingly lo A 22 499 been found. The present invention departs from the method invariably employed in the past (i.e. arranging the nozzle(s) at the bottom of the generator and, instead, introduces the nozzles laterally through the generator jacket and directed downwardly. By this change in the nozzle location, the abo~e-described disadvantages may be overcome and a considerable increase in the volumetric output of the generator may be achieved with optimum utilization of the heat of reaction of carbon combustion.
The present invention therefore relates to a process for the production of carbon monoxide in a water-cooled generator which is in the form of a truncated cone in longitudinal section and is filled with carbon, and by gasification of the carbon with a mixed gas of oxygen and carbon dioxide, said mixed gas being injected into the generator through one or more downwardly directed, callable nozzles provided on the jointer jacket, while the carbon monoxide formed is remove din the opposite direction at the side and/or head of the generator. The callable nozzles which extend through the generator jacket sidewall are spaced from the bottom of the generator and are dow~wardly-directed Jo that the gas stream prom the nozzle is also directed downwardly. The nozzle spacing prom the bottom of the generator should be sufficient to avoid contact with and interference from slag which forms and collects at the bottom of the generator. Otherwise the spacing from the bottom it not particularly critical.

lo A 22 I

~2~6~

The carbon used in this process is preferably coke.
If additives, which depress the melting point of the slay are added to the coke, then liquid slag can be removed continuously or intermittently at the bottom of the generator.
The process can be carried out particularly effective-lye if the volumetric ratio of oxygen to carbon dioxide in the mixed gas is adjusted to a value of down 1:1, prefer-ably somewhere in the range of from 1.2:1 to 1.3:1. This results in a significantly improved utilization of the heat of reaction of carbon combustion and a further increase in the volumetric output to over 400 my CO/h x my of reaction volume.
Particularly complete conversion to carbon monoxide may be achieved by injecting oxygen through one or more additional nozzles situated above the downwardly-directed mixed gas nozzles.
It is found particularly advantageous for carrying out the process to equip the nozzles with a double-walled cooling jacket cooled wit water. A further advantage is obtained by drawing off the product carton monoxide gas laterally since this considerably reduces the thermal stress on the mechanical equipment for intro-during coke at the head of the generator.
grief DESCRIPTION Of THE DRAWING
A carbon monoxide generator fox carrying out the process according to the present invention is illustrated schematically by the accompanying figure. This is only one of many possible designs of such a carbon monoxide generator.

lo A 22 499 ~2~6~

Through inlet (2), carbon is introduced into the generator chamber (3) from a gate (1). This generator chamber is surrounded by a cooling water system (4) and has a mixed gas (OKAY) nozzle (5) and an outlet (6) for the discharge of product gas. The slag (7) is removed through a slag outlet (8) at the bottom of the generator.
An access hole (9) is provided for servicing the generator.
The process described may be applied analogously to other gas-solid reactions to similar advantage. Examples include the production of generator gas:

4N2 2 + 2C 4N2 t KIWI Q

or synthesis gas:

Q HO t C ` Ho CO

The present invention will now be explained with reference to a non-limiting Example.

Example Crushed coke is introduced at the rate of 780 kg/h into a carbon monoxide generator as illustrated in the accompanying figure having a volume of 4 my through a gate at the head of the generator and about 13 ugh of slag (with additive) are removed it the bottom. 438 Nm3/h of oxygen and 362 Nm3/h of carbon dioxide are injected through nozzles in the generator jacket and 1600 Nm3fh of 98 % pure carbon monoxide are withdrawn as crude gas with fly ash through a nozzle on the opposite side of the generator to be conveyed to the downstream gas purification steps.
