Abstract:
The invention concerns a process for oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane. In the process an ethane comprising stream is fed to a distillation column to remove propane. The purified ethane stream is subjected to oxidative dehydrogenation using a catalyst comprising Mo/V/Sb, or Mo/V/Nb and Te or Sb in the orthorhombic M1 crystalline phase. The reactor effluent comprises ethylene. The effluent is washed with water to remove acetic acid. The acetic acid is recovered from the aqueous stream by means of solvent extraction.

Abstract:
Processes for producing a propylene stream having at least 95% propylene and a reduced level of dienes. A selective hydrogenation zone converts dienes into olefins in a stream having at least C3 and C4 olefins from a feed stream including butene and C4 dienes. The selective hydrogenation zone may be disposed between a demethanizer and a deethanzier or it may be disposed downstream of both the demethanizer and the deethanizer. A C3 splitter and an acetylene conversion zone may be utilized.
Abstract:
Compositions containing a porous organic polymer and a monovalent metal cation are provided for separation/purification of olefins and paraffins. The compositions can be stable and recyclable. The compositions can contain acidic functional group having monovalent metal cations associated therein. The monovalent metal cations can include Ag(l) and Cu(l), capable of strong cation-pi binding to ethylene and other olefins. The compositions can have a large surface area greater than about 20 m2/g. The compositions can be used to separate/purify mixtures of ethylene and ethane. The compositions can have an ethylene/ethane adsorption selectivity of about 20 to 500 at 296 K. Methods of making the compositions are provided. Methods can include synthesizing the porous organic polymer, grafting acidic functional groups onto the polymer, and cation exchange with a salt or acid of a monovalent metal cation. Methods of olefin/paraffin separation are provided capable of achieving purities over 99%.
Abstract:
In an embodiment, a process for producing ethylene comprising: introducing a methane stream comprising methane, oxygen, and water to a methane coupling zone; reacting the methane, the oxygen, and the water in the methane coupling zone via a methane oxidative coupling reaction to produce a first product stream; introducing the first product stream to a pyrolysis zone; and pyrolyzing ethane in the first product stream in the pyrolysis zone to produce a second product stream comprising ethylene. A heat from the methane coupling reaction is used in the pyrolysis reaction.
Abstract:
The process relates to producing acetic acid and/or ethanol from methane. Oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) may produce a mixture of ethane and ethylene that is further oxidized to acetic acid. The ethylene may be hydrated to form ethanol. In addition, the acetic acid may be hydrogenated to produce ethanol.
Abstract:
Process for the manufacture of a crude alkane oxidation product and/or alkene oxidation product according to which a stream of alkane and/or alkene and a stream of oxygen are fed to a catalytic oxidation reaction section comprising a first reactor and at least one other reactor, all in series, in which - the stream of alkane and/or alkene is fed into the first reactor for catalytic oxidation with an oxygen flow in order to produce a reaction gas which is then fed successively to the following reactors in series for further catalytic oxidation; - the stream of oxygen is divided in several oxygen flows which are fed in parallel into each of the reactors in series; - the reaction gas is cooled down between each two successive reactors and finally produces a crude alkane oxidation product and/or alkene oxidation product leaving the last reactor; - one part of said crude alkane oxidation product and/or alkene oxidation product leaving the last reactor is cooled down and recycled as recycled gas to at least one of the reactors in series while the other part of said crude alkane oxidation product and/or alkene oxidation product is sent to further use.

Abstract:
This invention concerns a new material with enhanced catalytic properties, produced by mechanical alloying of microbially encapsulated metallic (or zerovalent) nanoparticles with a second metallic component. The bioencapsulation ensures a maximized contact area for molecular restructuring, since the microbial biomass can prevent agglomeration during the mechanical alloying process. The resulting product is a metallic alloy with at least 1 % of the material dry weight comprising microbial biomass and with enhanced catalytic properties.
