Abstract
The inventive reactor contains a fixed bed into whose lower area an oxygen-containing gasifying agent is introduced. Said gasifying agent moves upwards in the fixed bed. Product gas containing hydrogen and carbon monoxide is guided out of the reactor over the fixed bed, through a discharge channel. At least one cyclone is located in the reactor for separating solids from the product gas. Said cyclone has an inlet for the dust-laden product gas coming from the fixed bed, a discharge line for product gas and a solids removal line leading into the fixed bed. Said cyclone discharge line is connected to the discharge channel of the reactor.
