Abstract: Novel processes for the production of polyolefins, other polymers, and oxygenated compounds, such as polypropylene, polyethylene, polybutene-1, poly(isobutylene), polystyrene, poly(1,3-butadiene), ethylene oxide, propylene oxide, acrylonitrile, acrolein and others, within gas phase and slurry phase type reactors, from olefins produced via the catalytic dehydrogenation of corresponding paraffins and other monomers inside permeable catalytic membrane reactors or non-permeable conventional reactors. The developed processes can produce both homopolymers and copolymers depending on the operating conditions of the preceding dehydrogenation permreactor. The invented processes utilize integrated separation, recycling and re-reaction operations of the unconverted olefins, paraffins and other utilized monomers and hydrocarbon molecules.

Abstract: Overall permreactor-separator process designs and effective permreactor designs with increased mass and heat transfer, reactant conversion, product yield and optional recycling for processing methane, hydrocarbons, alcohols, carbon monoxide, natural gas, acidic natural gas, cool gas, biomass gas, and mixtures of hydrocarbons with carbon dioxide, based on the reforming reactions of these feedstocks with steam and carbon dioxide and the dehydrogenation reactions of saturated hydrocarbons. Final exit streams from these gas phase processors contain pure hydrogen, hydrogen and carbon monoxide mixture, hydrogen and carbon dioxide mixture, and can be used as a direct feed in molten carbonate, solid oxide, proton exchange membrane, alkaline, phosphoric acid and other types of hydrogen driven fuel cells.
