The present invention relates to the selective separation of methane (“CH4”) from higher carbon number hydrocarbons (“HHC”s) in streams containing both methane and higher carbon number hydrocarbons (e.g. ethylene, ethane, propylene, propane, etc.) utilizing a zeolitic imidazolate framework (“ZIF”) material. Preferably, the stream to be separated is fed to the present process in a substantially gaseous phase. In preferred embodiments, the current invention is utilized in a process to separate methane from higher carbon number hydrocarbons in natural gas streams.

The present invention provides a process for the manufacture of acetylene and other higher hydrocarbons from methane feed using a reverse-flow reactor system, wherein the reactor system includes (i) a first reactor and (ii) a second reactor, the first and second reactors oriented in a series relationship with respect to each other, the process comprising supplying each of first and second reactant through separate channels in the first reactor bed of a reverse-flow reactor such that both of the first and second reactants serve to quench the first reactor bed, without the first and second reactants substantially reacting with each other until reaching the core of the reactor system.
摘要:
The invention provides a method for generating power with a gas turbine which utilizes pressure swing reforming under conditions that facilitate CO2 capture. First a synthesis gas stream at a first pressure is produced in a pressure swing reformer. Next the synthesis gas stream is subjected to a high temperature water gas shift process to produce a CO2 containing hydrogen enriched stream from which hydrogen and CO2 each are separated. The separated hydrogen in turn is combusted with air to produce a gas turbine and the separated CO2 is easily sequestered.

This invention is directed to a heat exchanged membrane reactor for electric power generation. More specifically, the invention comprises a membrane reactor system that employs catalytic or thermal steam reforming and a water gas shift reaction on one side of the membrane, and hydrogen combustion on the other side of the membrane. Heat of combustion is exchanged through the membrane to heat the hydrocarbon fuel and provide heat for the reforming reaction. In one embodiment, the hydrogen is combusted with compressed air to power a turbine to produce electricity. A carbon dioxide product stream is produced in inherently separated form and at pressure to facilitate injection of the CO2 into a well for the purpose of sequestering carbon from the earth's atmosphere.
摘要:
A multistage catalytic partial oxidation (CPO) process for oxidizing a hydrocarbon feedstream comprising C1-C4 hydrocarbons, with an oxygen-containing feedstream to produce a product comprising CO and H2, also known as synthesis gas or syngas. The process employs a CPO catalyst, and controlled process features, including: (A) the total oxygen requirement for the process is introduced incrementally, in more than one reaction stage, using an oxygen-containing feedstream at more than one feed point in the process, each stage including a catalyst; (B) the oxygen-containing feedstream, hydrocarbon feedstream and, in reaction stages after the first of said multiple stages, the intermediate product produced in the prior stage, are mixed for a period of time, after they are brought into contact with one another, of less than about 1 millisecond to form a substantially uniform mixture, wherein the mixture is then contacted with the catalyst; (C) the oxygen-containing feedstream and the hydrocarbon feedstream are preheated prior to entry into the first stage, to a temperature of from about 450° C. to less than about 1,000° C.; and (D) the mixture temperature of the product in each stage following the first stage is from greater than about 600° C. to less than about 1,000° C. Preferably, the process comprises less than or equal to about five stages, the first stage preheat temperature recited in step (C) is greater than about 550° C. and the mixture temperature of the product in each stage following the first stage is at least 700° C.
