  • Patent number: 11130721
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for recovering light olefins, which can achieve an increase in propylene production and a reduction in the basic unit of a process by feeding steam into five serially connected dehydrogenation reactors, and can diversify the product of a propane dehydrogenation reaction process from a propylene single product into propylene and ethylene by separately collecting ethane and ethylene, i.e., by-products of the propylene production process, and converting the ethane into ethylene, thereby improving the economic efficiency of the process and selectivity.

  • Patent number: 10960384
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a dehydrogenation catalyst in which a platinum-group metal, an assistant metal, and an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal component are supported on a carrier, wherein the molar ratio of platinum to the assistant metal is 0.5 to 1.49, and the catalyst has an acidity amount of 20 to 150 ?mol KOH/g catalyst when it is titrated with KOH. The dehydrogenation catalyst according to the present invention may prevent coke formation from increasing rapidly when the hydrogen/hydrocarbon ratio in a dehydrogenation reaction is reduced, thereby increasing the productivity of the process. Accordingly, it makes it possible to operate the process under a condition in which the hydrogen/hydrocarbon ratio in a dehydrogenation reaction is reduced, thereby improving the economy of the process.

  • Patent number: 10807923
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for dehydrogenating an alkane, the method including: a step of feeding into dehydrogenation reactors a feed gas stream containing a hydrocarbon to be dehydrogenated, hydrogen, and steam and performing dehydrogenation, wherein the dehydrogenation step is repeated in five or more sets, the dehydrogenation reactors have two parallel-connected reaction material heaters configured to heat the feed gas stream which is fed into each of the dehydrogenation reactors, and the steam is fed separately to the individual reactors for five or more sets of dehydrogenation steps; and a step of cooling and compressing a production gas stream resulting from the previous step, quenching the compressed product gas stream by passage through a cooling box, separating and purifying the product gas stream having passed through the cooling box, and recovering a product.

  • Patent number: 10662132
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of producing ethylene by separately collecting ethane and ethylene which are by-products of a propylene preparation process using propane dehydrogenation reaction and also combining an existing propylene preparation process with a process of converting ethane to ethylene. According to the present invention, valuable ethylene may be produced by converting most of ethane and ethylene, i.e., by-products of a propane dehydrogenation process, into ethylene without using the ethane as fuel, thereby improving process economic efficiency. Furthermore, a product line in the process of propane dehydrogenation reaction may be changed from a propylene product alone into two products, i.e., propylene and ethylene, and thus the operating conditions of a propylene dehydrogenation reactor and the operating conditions of a de-ethanizer may be adjusted according to the market situation, thereby increasing the production proportion of a favorable product line.
