A new type of burning device for producing hydrohalogen compounds.

Apparatus and methods are provided for converting methane in a feed stream to acetylene. A hydrocarbon stream is introduced into a supersonic reactor and pyrolyzed to convert at least a portion of the methane to acetylene. The reactor effluent stream may be treated to convert acetylene to another hydrocarbon process.

The present invention relates to a oxygen-free direct conversion of methane reactor and a method for producing ethylene using the same. More specifically, the invention provides a oxygen-free direct conversion of methane reactor and a method for producing ethylene from methane, wherein the reactor is selectively heated to save energy, prevent overheating with high responsiveness, and minimize coke formation, thereby achieving high methane conversion rate and high ethylene yield at a high reaction rate. The method also allows for the production of ethylene and aromatic compounds.

The present disclosure relates to reactor components and their use, e.g., in regenerative reactors. A process and apparatus for utilizing different wetted areas along the flow path of a fluid in a pyrolysis reactor, e.g., a thermally regenerating reactor, such as a regenerative, reverse-flow reactor, is described.

Methods for converting carbon dioxide (CO.sub.2) into graphene are described. The methods include contacting a metal with gaseous carbon dioxide, and irradiating a surface of the metal with at least one laser beam to convert the gaseous carbon dioxide into graphene on the surface of the metal. Systems for converting carbon dioxide into graphene are also described.
