  • Publication number: 20220348521
    Abstract: The disclosure provides for a process for a non-catalytic oxidative coupling of methane reaction remarkable in that the process comprises a step of providing a counter-current shell-tube reactor comprising at least two tubes defining a tubular part and a shell part surrounding the tubular part and at least one inlet to feed a gaseous feed stream and at least one outlet to discharge a product stream; a step of providing a gaseous feed stream comprising a gas mixture of methane and oxygen in a defined molar ratio and preheated to a defined operating inlet temperature; a step of feeding the gaseous feed stream at least in the tubular part of the counter-current shell-tube reactor and a step of recovering a product stream.

  • Patent number: 6472568
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for preparing at least one aliphatic monoalcohol, generally in excess, and at least one olefin. The process is performed in a distillation and reaction device having a reaction section and a distillation-reaction section. The distillation-reaction section has a distillation zone with at least one means for circulation of the effluent from the reaction section to the distillation zone. Effluent from the reaction section is circulated to the distillation zone. The distillation-reaction section also has at least one distillation-reaction zone having at least one catalyst bed. The distillation-reaction zone is distinct from the distillation zone and provides at least partly the reflux of the distillation zone. The distillation-reaction section can also have at least one complementary reaction zone containing at least one catalyst bed.
