Multistage catalytic reaction system for simultaneous conversion of hydrocarbons of various carbon numbers

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a multistage catalytic reaction system for simultaneous conversion of hydrocarbons having various carbon numbers. Particularly, the present disclosure relates to a catalytic reaction system for producing hydrogen or syngas, which is a mixture of hydrogen with carbon monoxide, by mixing C1-C6 hydrocarbons having various carbon numbers, including paraffins (CnH2n+2), naphthenes (CnH2n), olefins (CnH2n), diolefins (CnH2n−2), and acetylenes (CnH2n−2) with carbon dioxide at a predetermined ratio, and carrying out reaction thereof. In the multistage reaction system, each reaction zone is maintained under a different reaction condition. Therefore, when using the multistage reaction system, hydrocarbon reactants of various compositions emitted from the actual industry can be treated simultaneously through a one-step process, thereby providing hydrogen or syngas of high value at high yield, while saving processing costs significantly.
