  • Multi-staged catalyst systems and process for converting alkanes to alkenes and to their corresponding oxygenated products
    Publication number: 20070106089
    Abstract: Alkenes, unsaturated saturated carboxylic acids, saturated carboxylic acids and their higher analogues are prepared cumulatively from corresponding alkanes utilizing using a multi-staged catalyst system and a multi-stage process which comprises steam cracking of alkanes to corresponding alkenes at flame temperatures and at short contact times in combination with one or more oxidation catalysts for catalytically converting the corresponding alkenes to further corresponding oxygenated products using short contact time reactor conditions.
    Type: Application
    Filed: November 8, 2005
    Publication date: May 10, 2007
    Inventors: Abraham Benderly, Anne Gaffney, Mark Silvano
  • Process for the selective (AMM)oxidation of lower molecular weight alkanes and alkenes
    Publication number: 20050137415
    Abstract: An improved process for the production of unsaturated carboxylic acids and unsaturated nitrites from their corresponding C3 to C5 alkanes, or mixtures of C3 to C5 alkanes and alkenes, that involves a multi-stage reaction system which employs both separation of the oxidation product from one or more intermediate effluent streams, as well as feeding additional oxygen to reaction zones subsequent to the first reaction zone.
