天然气作为一种清洁化石能源，是可再生能源得到全面应用前重要的能源物质。为了应对日益加剧的污染问题和碳排放压力，天然气更大规模的应用具有重要意义。本工艺通过部分氧化技术利用甲烷的富燃燃烧来生产乙炔，与传统的非淬冷甲烷部分氧化制合成气技术相比，利用火焰淬冷方法除生产合成气外还可以生产乙炔，因而更有经济优势。甲烷部分氧化制乙炔技术不使用催化剂，避免了催化剂失活及催化剂原料成本对工业生产的影响。
Natural gas is the most important energy substance as a clean fossil energy before the renewable energy is widely used. It is significant to apply natural gas on a larger scale in order to cope with the increasing pollution problems and carbon emissions pressure. The partial oxidation technique converts methane into acetylene via combustion of fuel-rich methane/oxygen mixtures. Compared with the conventional production of synthesis gas by partial oxidation method without flame quenching technique, the method with rapid flame quenching can produce acetylene besides synthesis gas, and thus is more economically attractive. This method does not require a catalyst, thus it is not affected by the catalyst lifetime and the cost of catalytic materials.
