  • Patent number: 8003840
    Abstract: This invention relates to a bismuth molybdate catalyst, a preparation method thereof, and a method of preparing 1,3-butadiene using the same, and to a bismuth molybdate catalyst, a preparation method thereof, and a method of preparing 1,3-butadiene using the same, in which 1,3-butadiene can be prepared through oxidative dehydrogenation directly using a C4 mixture including n-butene and n-butane as a reactant in the presence of a mixed-phase bismuth molybdate catalyst including ?-bismuth molybdate (Bi2Mo3On) and ?-bismuth molybdate (Bi2MoO6). According to this invention, the C4 raffinate, containing many impurities, is used as a reactant, without an additional n-butane separation process, thus obtaining 1,3-butadiene at high yield.

  • Patent number: 7663013
    Abstract: A porous solid acid catalyst for producing light olefins is prepared through pillaring and a solid state reaction of a raw material mixture. The catalyst is made of a porous material having a crystalline structure that is different from that of the raw material mixture. The catalyst exhibits excellent catalytic activity (i.e., conversion and selectivity) in the production of light olefins from hydrocarbon feeds such as full range naphthas.

  • Patent number: 7301063
    Abstract: A process for increasing the production of light olefin hydrocarbons from a hydrocarbon feedstock. A process for producing an aromatic hydrocarbon mixture and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) from a hydrocarbon mixture, and a process for producing a hydrocarbon feedstock which is capable of being used as a feedstock in the former process, that is to say, a fluidized catalytic cracking (FCC) process, a catalytic reforming process, and/or a pyrolysis process, are integrated, thereby it is possible to increase the production of C2-C4 light olefin hydrocarbons.

  • Patent number: 6870073
    Abstract: There is provided with a process for separating normal paraffins from hydrocarbons of C5-10 using zeolite molecular sieve 5A, which comprises the steps of (a) selective adsorption (b) cocurrent purge (c) countercurrent desorption. The present process employs butane for purge and desorption step to achieve excellent desorption efficiency and recycles butane in liquid phase to reduce the investment cost. The optimum operating conditions for feedstock change and adsorption capacity reduction are determined by NIR system for on-line monitoring and control. The separated normal paraffins can be efficiently applied to raw material for ethylene production and the separated non-normal paraffins can be efficiently applied to raw material for aromatic hydrocarbons production.

  • Patent number: 6852361
    Abstract: A method of on-line coating a coat film on the inner wall of a reaction tube in a hydrocarbon pyrolysis reactor for preventing the formation and the deposit of coke on the inner walls. This method comprises the steps of vapor depositing a mixed solution of a metal alkoxide and a chromic compound on the inner walls concurrently with introducing a carrier at a flow rate of 1-5000 kg/hr/coil at a temperature of 600-900° C. under a pressure of 0-3 kg/cm2 to form a buffer layer on the inner walls; and vapor depositing a metal alkoxide as a barrier on the buffer layer; and vapor depositing an alkali metal/alkaline earth metal compound alone or mixed with metal alkoxide as a decoking layer on the barrier. A decoking layer may further be provided on the diffusion barrier.
