Reactor Employing High-Temperature Air Combustion Technology

In a burning air feeding device (9) of alternating heat-exchanging type, the feed of burning air and the discharge of a burned exhaust gas are performed at the speeds of 80 to 200 m/sec. A burner structure (4) is constituted such that a low-calorie fuel gas is preheated with the heat of a precombustion high-calorie fuel gas till the low-calorie fuel gas reaches a mixing starting zone (CA), and such that the precombustion high-calorie fuel gas and the low-calorie fuel gas are burned together in the mixing starting zone (CA). The sum (Q1 + Q2) of an air quantity (Q1) fed from the hot air feeding ports of a plurality of fuel gas burning devices and an air quantity (Q2) of a precombustion air to be mixed with the high-calorie fuel gas in the plural fuel gas burning devices is set to 1.02 to 1.10 times as high as the stoichiometric air quantity (Qs) necessary for the combustion, and the ratio (Q2/(Q1 + Q2)) is set within the range of 0.011 to 0.047.
