PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF LIGHT OLEFINS FROM SYNTHESIS GAS

摘要

A new process for light-olefins production is disclosed. The process comprises the step of contacting syngas with a iron-based catalyst at a temperature in the range from 250° C. to 350° C. and at a pressure in the range from 10 bar to 40 bar. By so doing a production of light olefins with a selectivity of at least 80% is obtained.
