Removal of particulates from synthesis gas

Patent ·
OSTI ID:5436118
A method for separating fine particulates mixed with gas and stripping interstitial and absorbed gases therefrom under elevated temperature and pressure conditions. The method comprising: introducing the mixture tangentially into a first containing means, the first containing means having upper and lower portions; separating the mixture into two streams, a first stream being mostly particulates forming a bed in the containing means prior to discharge therefrom, and a second stream being mostly gas; stripping interstitial and absorbed gases from the particles; controlling a temperature of the first stream in the first containing means by adjusting the height of the particulate bed; and discharging the first and second streams separately from the first containing means. The second stream being discharged through a small diameter outlet.
