Abstract
A new technique for oxidizing a gaseous phase oxidizable feed involves a process wherein a gas mixture containing at least one oxidizing gas is placed in contact with an oxidizable feed inside a mixing contact zone situated between at least one first zone passed through by the feed and at least one second zone passed through by the oxidation reaction products. The first and second zones define a multiplicity of multidirectional spaces exhibiting passages having, along at least one direction, a dimension at most equal to the jamming distance of the flame possibly resulting from oxidations of feed. The contact zone comprises an oxidizing gas mixture supply means comprising a plurality of parallel pipes with porous walls situated at a distance from the first and second zones which is at most equal to the jamming distance.
