Abstract

In the preparation of acetylene and synthesis gas by partial oxidation of hydrocarbons with oxygen, the feedstock gases are first separately preheated, then intensively mixed in a mixing zone, reacted after flowing through a burner block and then rapidly cooled. The burner block has a number of continuous ducts. According to the invention the ducts of the burner block are covered on the inlet side by plates furnished with perforations.
