  • Patent number: 11865514
    Abstract: Disclosed is a catalyst for producing an olefin including an oxygen carrier material and a dehydrogenation catalyst. The catalyst allows hydrogen to be converted into water by using oxygen inside the lattice of an oxide catalyst without the additional supply of oxygen, and thus, the conversion can be increased while the decrease in selectivity, which is a disadvantage of an additional oxidative dehydrogenation reaction (ODHP), is suppressed.

  • Patent number: 10131850
    Abstract: A naphtha and methanol mixed catalytic cracking reaction process involves a simultaneous cracking reaction of naphtha and methanol using a circulating fluidized-bed reactor comprising a reactor, a stripper, and a regenerator. The naphtha is supplied from the bottom part of the reactor at a position between 0%˜5% of the total length of the reactor, and the methanol is supplied from the bottom part of the reactor at a position between 10%˜80% of the total length of the reactor. The catalytic cracking reaction process uses the circulating fluidized-bed reactor and can crack naphtha and methanol simultaneously by having different introduction positions for the naphtha and methanol in the reactor, which is advantageous for heat neutralization, so that energy consumption can be minimized and also the yield of light olefins can be improved by suppressing the production of light saturated hydrocarbons such as methane, ethane and propane.

  • Patent number: 9764960
    Abstract: A process for preparing granular polysilicon using a fluidized bed reactor is disclosed. The upper and lower spaces of the bed are defined as a reaction zone and a heating zone, respectively, with the height of the reaction gas outlet being selected as the reference height. The invention maximizes the reactor productivity by sufficiently providing the heat required and stably maintaining the reaction temperature in the reaction zone, without impairing the mechanical stability of the fluidized bed reactor. This is achieved through electrical resistance heating in the heating zone where an internal heater is installed in a space in between the reaction gas supplying means and the inner wall of the reactor tube, thereby heating the fluidizing gas and the silicon particles in the heating zone.
