This invention is essentially an improved means for contacting solids, liquids, and gases at elevated pressures and at desired temperatures, for providing inherently stable pressures, for conserving the heat of chemical reactions, and for minimizing the power requirement for pumping liquids continuously through a high pressure zone. The invention is particularly useful for processes utilizing physical, chemical, and/or thermal treatment, under elevated pressures, of continuously flowing streams of large volume which may contain suspended solids. The invention is based on the realization that deep boreholes, suitably lined, can be utilized as a particularly efficient apparatus for physical, chemical, and/or thermal processes. The hydrostatic pressures created when the boreholes are filled with liquids or fluidized solids are of sufficient magnitude to promote a great many useful chemical reactions, and there are many other advantages, as partially noted later, that appear in a unique combination when deep boreholes are regarded as an item of process apparatus, rather than as a means of access to water, petroleum, or mineral ores. The following processes are illustrative of the embodiments of this invention: (1) The use of chemical reaction energy in the production of electricity directly by means of fuel cells. Through this invention, it is possible to produce electricity directly from powdered coal or other combustible solids, as well as from combustible gases or liquids.

Fuel cell apparatus comprising: an enclosed space; a first hollow electrode enclosure disposed in said space, said first enclosure being open at both ends, being electrically conductive and containing non-consumable, electrically conductive pellets; screen means for retaining said pellets in said first enclosure; means for supplying water or a fluid electrolyte to one open end of said first enclosure; means for supplying an oxygen containing gas to the said open end of said first enclosure; a second hollow electrode enclosure open at both ends and spaced from said first enclosure in said space, said second enclosure being electriclly conductive and containing electrically conductive pellets; screen means for retaining said pellets in said second enclosure; means for supplying a fuel to the region between the two electrodes to move inside said second enclosure, whereby ions produced in said first enclosure react with the fuel and release electrons from the ions to said electrically conductive pellets and enclosure; flow of said electrolyte sequentially and axially through said enclosures transports ions from the first electrode to the second electrode; and electrical connections for an external path for flow of said electrons from said second enclosure to said first enclosure.
