Abstract
A non-oxidative conversion process includes processing a light hydrocarbon feed stream comprising C1 to C3 alkanes in a reactor under catalytic cracking conditions including a temperature of about 850° C. and up to 1020° C. and a residence time of from about 1 second to about 15 seconds in the presence of a catalytic cracking catalyst, thereby producing a product effluent stream comprising a C2 to C10 hydrocarbon product and hydrogen. The product effluent stream contains less than or equal to about 6.5 wt. % of acetylene.
