    摘要: A hydrocarbon can be contacted with dehydrogenation catalyst particles to produce an effluent that can include coked catalyst particles and dehydrogenated hydrocarbon(s). A first stream rich in coked catalyst particles and a second stream rich in dehydrogenated hydrocarbon(s) and containing entrained catalyst particles can be separated from the effluent. The second stream can be contacted with a first quench medium to produce a cooled stream. The cooled stream can be contacted with a second quench medium within a quench tower. A gaseous stream that includes the dehydrogenated hydrocarbon(s), a first quench medium stream, and a slurry stream that includes the second quench medium and the entrained catalyst particles can be separated from the tower. The first quench medium can be recycled. The entrained catalyst particles can be separated from the slurry to provide recovered second quench medium and recovered entrained catalyst particles. The recovered second quench medium can be recycled.
