Abstract
This paper is focused on researching the influence of process parameters of partial oxidation, such as quality of hydrocarbon raw materials that differ in their stock properties (especially boiling point and viscosity) on the composition of output gas (selectivity of the process), and also on the formation extent of soot which could be used as an excellent and valued sorbent CHEZACARB® and/or filler in the rubber industry, e.g. for automotive tires. The effects of steam flow rate and the oxygen to raw material feed rate ratio is discussed as well. In addition, sensitivity of POX product composition depending on properties of different raw materials and reaction conditions were analysed in this study.
