Abstract

In order to reduce the rate of coke formation during the industrial pyrolysis of hydrocarbons, the interior surface of a reactor is coated with a thin layer of a ceramic material, the layer being deposited by thermal decomposition of a non-oxygen containing silicon-nitrogen precursor in the vapor phase, tin an inert or reducing gas atmosphere in order to minimize the formation of oxide ceramics.
