Zusammenfassung:A method and apparatus are provided for producing a product comprising a carbide compound, such as for example silicon carbide. A reactor (10) is provided which has a chamber (12) defined therein which is divided into a combustion zone (12a) and a reaction zone (12b). A combustible mixture is injected into the combustion zone (12a) in a direction generally toward the reaction zone (12b), and is accordingly combusted in the combustion zone (12a). At least one reactant (i.e. silane) is injected at the boundary (20) between the zones into the reactor chamber (12) in a direction generally parallel to the longitudinal axis (14) of the chamber (12) so as to react to form raw product comprising the carbide compound.
