Dehydrogenation process for converting n-paraffin hydrocarbon into n-olefin hydrocarbon
Abstract
Abstract A DEHYDROGENATION PROCES WHEREIN N-PARAFFIN HYDROCARBON AT AN ELEVATED TEMPERATURE, IN THE PRESENCE OF MOLECULAR HYDROGEN IS CONTACTED WITH A DEHYDROGENATION CATALYST COMPRISING A DEHYDROGENATION COMPONENT SUPPORTED UPON AN INORGANIC METAL OXIDE BASE TO CONVERT SAID N-PARAFFIN HYDROCARBON INTO N-OLEFIN HYDROCARBONS SUCH PROCESS INCORPORATES AN IMPROVEMENT FOR INCREASING THE SELECTIVITY OF SAID CATALYST FOR CONVERTING N-PARAFFIN HYDROCARBON INTO N-OLEFIN HYDROCARBON, WHICH IMPROVEMENT COMPRISES TREATING A FRESH OR FRESHLY REGENERATED DEHYDROGENATION CATALYST, PRIOR TO USE IN THE DEHYDROGENATION REACTION, WITH PARAFFIN HYDROCARBON AND HYDROGEN IN A MOLE RATIO OF HYDROGEN TO HYDROCARBON OF FROM ABOUT 0.5:1 TO ABOUT 40:1; AT A TEMPERATURE OF FROM ABOUT 750*F. TO ABOUT 1000*F., AND A PRESSURE OF FROM ABOUT ATMOSPHERIC TO ABOUT 50 P.S.I.G. FOR A PERIOD OF FROM ABOUT 12 TO ABOUT 24 HOURS.
