Abstract: A catalytic reactor apparatus is disclosed for continuous conversion of plastic wastes into liquid fuels by dispersing a cracking catalyst in molten plastics and cracking plastic macromolecules into smaller hydrocarbons within boiling point range of gasoline and diesel fuel at temperatures significantly lower than thermal pyrolysis and thermal cracking. The catalyst/plastic mixing and heat transfer from the reactor wall to the reaction zone are enhanced using non-Newtonian stirrer. A catalytic membrane filter is used to keep the catalyst fines and unconverted plastic particulates inside the reactor while letting the desirable hydrocarbon vapor be withdrawn out of the reactor.

Abstract: A process of catalytic partial oxidation of hydrocarbons, particularly methane and/or natural gas to form a product containing hydrogen and carbon monoxide where the first catalyst comprises Co—Ni—Cr—W alloy.

Abstract: A process of catalytic partial oxidation of hydrocarbons, particularly methane and/or natural gas to form a product containing hydrogen and carbon monoxide where the first catalyst at the inlet has a higher thermal conductivity than that of a second catalyst closer to the outlet. The second catalyst closer to the outlet has a higher surface area than that of the first catalyst at the inlet.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for converting a hydrocarbon and oxygen containing gas feed stream to a product stream, such as syngas, including catalytically partially oxidizing the hydrocarbon feed stream over a catalyst bed. The catalyst bed has a downstream zone which is less resistant to flow than the upstream zone.
