Abstract
The present invention relates to a process for simultaneous production of benzene and ethylene by conversion of acetylene, comprising the steps: supplying a feed composition comprising about 5 to about 30 vol-% acetylene, about 5 to about 30 vol-% methane, about 5 to about 30 vol-% carbon dioxide and about 10 to about 70 vol-% hydrogen into a non-metallic reactor; and thermally reacting the feed composition in the reactor at a temperature in the range of about 600 to about 1000° C.
Claims9
A process for simultaneous production of benzene and ethylene by conversion of acetylene, comprising the steps:
- (a) supplying a feed composition comprising about 5 to about 30 vol-% acetylene, about 5 to about 30 vol-% methane, about 5 to about 30 vol-% carbon dioxide and about 10 to about 70 vol-% hydrogen into a non-metallic reactor;
- and
- (b) thermally reacting the feed composition in the reactor at a temperature in the range of about 600 to about 1000° C. to produce a product comprising benzene and ethylene,
- wherein the reactor is a quartz or ceramic reactor.
