Abstract:
The invention concerns a process for the production of butadiene from an ethanol feed comprising at least 80% by weight of ethanol, comprising a step for conversion of ethanol to acetaldehyde, a step for the extraction of butadiene, a step for scrubbing gaseous by-products with water, a step for eliminating impurities and brown oils, a step for treating effluents, a first butadiene purification step, and a subsequent butadiene purification step, said ethanol feed being supplied to said butadiene extraction step, the arrangement of the steps and recycles allowing the recycles to be maximized and allowing the water and energy consumption to be minimized.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a thermally-integrated method for producing butadiene from butanol that comprises at least the following steps: a) Dehydration of butanol, fed by a dehydration feed that is formed from at least said n-butanol feedstock that is diluted with at least a portion of the purified water effluent that is obtained from step c), leading to a butene effluent in at least one reactor, in the presence of a catalyst that comprises an alumina, b) Oxidizing dehydrogenation of said butene effluent, diluted with at least a portion of the purified water effluent that is obtained from step c), into butadiene, with said butene effluent not having undergone any treatment following the dehydration step a), c) Separation of the effluent that is obtained from step b) into at least one butadiene effluent and one purified water effluent.
Abstract:
Production of 1,3-butadiene ethanol, that is more than 50% of the total weight of feedstock: A) conversion of feedstock and of ethanol effluent from separation B to a conversion effluent being a majority of 1,3-butadiene, water and ethylene, and to a hydrogen effluent, operating at a pressure between 0.1 and 1.0 MPa, a temperature between 300 and 500° C. in the presence of at least one catalyst; B) separation of conversion effluent originating from A and hydration effluent from C to an ethanol effluent, a butadiene effluent, a water effluent and an ethylene effluent; C) hydration of ethylene fed by ethylene effluent and/or water effluent both from separation B, to produce an ethanol hydration effluent then being recycled to separation B.

The invention relates to a process for the production of middle-distillate hydrocarbon-containing bases from a feedstock comprising butanol and pentanol, with said process comprising at least: a) Isomerizing dehydration of said feedstock; b) Separation of the water that is present in said olefinic effluent; c) Purification of the organic liquid effluent coming from b); d) Selective oligomerization of a feedstock that comprises at least a portion of the purified organic effluent coming from c), to produce a first oligomerization effluent; e) Oligomerization of said first oligomerization effluent in such a way as to produce a second oligomerization effluent; f) Fractionation of said second oligomerization effluent into at least three products, a light product, an intermediate product and a distillate product; g) Oligomerization of at least a portion of said intermediate product; h) Hydrogenation of at least a portion of said distillate product.
Abstract:
This invention relates to a process for the production of hydrogen from a hydrocarbon feedstock and steam comprising: A stage for the production of a synthesis gas in a unit for the steam-reforming of the hydrocarbon feedstock, A stage for shift conversion with steam of the synthesis gas that is obtained in the preceding stage producing a hydrogen stream that contains methane and carbon dioxide, A stage for recovering carbon dioxide and methane, present in the stream that is obtained in the shift conversion stage, in the form of hydrates that produce a stream of pure hydrogen, A stage for regeneration of methane, A stage for recycling methane to steam reforming.
