PRODUCTION OF LIQUID HYDROCARBONS FROM METHANE

摘要

37 PRODUCTION OF LIQUID HYDROCARBONS FROM METHANE ABSTRACT IN A PROCESS ROR CONVERTING METHANE TO LIQUID HYDROCARBONS. A FECD CONTAINING METHANE IS CONTACTED WITH A DEHYDROCYCLIZATION CATALYST UNDER 5 CONDITIONS EFFECTIVE TO CONVERT SAID METHANE TO AROMATIC HYDROCARBONS, INCLUDING BENZENE AND/OR NAPHTHALENE, AND PRODUCE A FIRST EFFLUENT STREARN COMPRISING HYDROGEN AND AT LEAST 5WTMORE AROMATIC HYDROCARBONS THAN SAID FEED. AT LEAST PART THE AROMATIC HYDROCARBONS FRONT THE FIRST EFFLUENT STREAM IS THEN REACTED WITH HYDROGEN TO PRODUCE A SECOND EFFLUENT STREARN HAVING A REDUCED BENZENE AND/OR 10 NAPHTHALENE CONTENT COMPARED WITH SAID FIRST EFFLUENT STREAM.
