Method and System for Performing Chemical Processes

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for performing chemical processes, where raw materials are heated, wherein a melt pool is produced in a tank or reactor using low-melting metals or metal alloys, wherein the raw materials are metered directly into the melt pool in the lower part of the tank or reactor.

1 - 7 . (canceled) 
     
     
         8 . A system for performing chemical processes, comprising a tank or reactor for accommodating a melt pool of a low-melting metal or a low-melting metal alloy, wherein the tank or reactor is configured in a lower part with a feeding device for metered feeding of raw materials directly into the melt pool. 
     
     
         9 . (canceled) 
     
     
         10 . The system as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein the feeding device feeds a solid raw material. 
     
     
         11 . The system as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein the tank or reactor is equipped with a heating element in the lower part. 
     
     
         12 . The system as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein the tank or reactor includes a cylindrical heating element. 
     
     
         13 . The system as claimed in  claim 12 , wherein the cylindrical heating element is a cylindrical induction heater. 
     
     
         14 . The system as claimed in  claim 12 , wherein the cylindrical heating element is configured for achieving a temperature gradient over a height of the tank or reactor. 
     
     
         15 . The system as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein the tank or reactor is configured with at least one of slowing barriers, gratings, screens, or spiral conduits.
