Abstract
A process for the partial oxidation of hydrocarbons, wherein a hydrocarbon-comprising gas flow and a free oxygen-comprising gas flow are fed into a reaction chamber, comprising the steps of:—mixing and reacting a first portion of the free oxygen-comprising gas flow with a first flow comprising reacted gases circulating within the reaction chamber;—mixing a second portion of the free oxygen-comprising gas flow with the hydrocarbon-comprising gas flow in the reaction chamber obtaining a gas flow comprising both hydrocarbons and free oxygen at least partly mixed together—mixing and reacting the gas flow comprising both hydrocarbons and free oxygen at least partly mixed together with a second flow comprising reacted gases circulating inside the reaction chamber obtaining a gas flow comprising hydrogen and carbon monoxide.
