摘要:
A process and reactor are disclosed for the thermal cracking of a charge containing at least one hydrocarbon with at least one carbon atom, in which the charge is circulated in a metal reaction zone which includes a pyrolysis zone whose external wall is in thermal exchange relationship with a heating liquid. The reaction zone consists of an alloy containing, by weight, 66-82% nickel, 14-18% chromium, and 4-6% aluminum. This alloy, which has already been preoxidized, may be covered, at least in the reaction zone, with at least one layer formed by an oxide of at least one metal and/or at least one metal carbide and/or at least one metal nitride and/or at least one metal silicide. The invention finds application for vapor-phase cracking and dehydrogenation of hydrocarbon charges.

A process for the thermal pyrolysis of hydrocarbons in a reactor (1) of elongate shape comprising at a first end supply means (5) for a gaseous mixture containing at least one hydrocarbon, at the opposite end discharge means (10) for the effluents produced and between these two ends supply means (9) for effluent cooling fluid, the reactor comprising in a first part (first end side) a plurality of electric heating means (3) enclosed by casings (4) disposed in substantially mutually parallel layers perpendicular to the axis of the reactor, in such a way as to define between the casings and/or the casings and the walls (22), spaces or passages for circulation of the gaseous mixtures and/or effluents. The heating means heat the passages in successive, individual, transverse sections which are substantially perpendicular to the axis of the reactor. The reactor comprises means for introducing into the casings (4) a gas G known as a casing gas which preferably contains water vapour and/or hydrogen. The permeability of the casings is sufficient to permit diffusion, at least at certain points, of at least a part of the gas G from inside the casings to the outside of the casings, the gas G then being diluted in the gaseous mixture.

An oxidation reactor having elongated shape includes in combination, a mixing member including a pipe for feeding oxidizing gas and a pipe for feeding oxidizable charge; a reaction member, arranged subjacent the mixing member, and a discharge member associated with a discharge pipe for the products of the reaction. The reaction member includes a central zone which has a first lining and the reactor includes at least one peripheral zone which has a second lining, passages in the second lining being smaller than passages in the first lining so that the pressure loss in the second lining is greater than that of the first lining. The second lining forms a sleeve surround the first lining and this sleeve is formed of at least one refractory heat insulating material. The oxidation reactor is provided with an external sleeve steel jacket, a concrete wall and a steel element surrounding the mixing member arranged above the reaction member. The reaction member includes a series of single elements which form juxtaposed channels.

Method and apparatus for thermal conversion of methane to hydrocarbons of higher molecular weight, comprising a reactor 1 of elongated shape, connected at a first end to means 5 for supplying gas mixture containing methane (process gas), and connected at the opposite end to discharge means 10, the reactor having a plurality of electric heating means 3 surrounded by sheaths 4 over a first part (towards the first end). The heating means, which are substantially parallel, are arranged in sheets which are substantially parallel and perpendicular to the axis of the reactor, so that spaces or passages for circulation of the process gas and/or effluent are defined between the sheaths and/or between the sheaths and the walls 22 separating two consecutive sheets. The heating means are adapted to heat the passages by successive independent cross sections substantially perpendicular to the axis of the reactor. In a second part 8 (towards the opposite end) adjoining the first part, the reactor further comprises means 9 for cooling the effluent, connected to the means for supplying cooling fluid. The reactor also has means for introducing a gas containing hydrogen into the space surrounding the heating means inside the sheaths 4, at an appropriate pressure. The reactor and particularly the sheaths 4 are designed so that hydrogen is diffused from inside the sheaths to outside them and can then be diluted in the process gas.

Apparatus suitable for the thermal conversion of methane to hydrocarbons of higher molecular weight, comprising an elongated reactor 1 provided with an inlet 5 for supplying a gas mixture containing methane (process gas) and an outlet at the opposite end, the reactor over a first part towards the inlet end having a plurality of electric heaters 3 surrounded by sheaths 4. The heaters, e.g., electric resistors, which are spaced apart and are substantially parallel with respect to one another, are arranged in substantially parallel rows perpendicular to the axis of the reactor so as to permit circulation of the process gas and/or effluent between the sheaths and/or between the sheaths and walls 22 separating two consecutive rows. The heaters heat the passages by successive independent cross sections substantially perpendicular to the axis of the reaction. Towards the outlet end, the reactor further comprises an injector for supplying cooling fluid, which cools the effluent. The reactor also has a hydrogen inlet for introducing a gas containing hydrogen into the space surrounding the heaters inside the sheaths 4 at an appropriate pressure. The reactor and the sheaths 4 are designed so that hydrogen is diffused from inside the sheaths to outside them and can then be diluted in the process gas.

The invention concerns a process for upgrading olefinic gasolines containing C.sub.5 hydrocarbons, but free of C.sub.4 hydrocarbons, by etherification. It is characterized in that the tertiary olefins of the charge are reacted (1 and 2) with methanol; the reaction effluent being then extracted (3) with water, in order to separate an aqueous phase containing the major part of the unreacted methanol from a hydrocarbon phase containing the major part of the formed ethers. The aqueous phase is then introduced in a distillation zone (4) where water is separated from methanol and recycled to the extraction zone (3), whereas methanol is recycled to the etherification zone (1 and 2).
