The invention belongs to the field of
petrochemical production, and particular relates to a device and a method for preparing
ethylene from ethane oxidative
dehydrogenation. The device for preparing the
ethylene from the ethane oxidative
dehydrogenation comprises a main
reaction tube; the side surface of the main
reaction tube is provided with 1-8
branch pipe(s); the main
reaction tube is filled with a catalyst, so that a catalyst
bed layer can be formed; outlets of all the
branch pipes are covered by the side surface of the catalyst
bed layer; an
oxygen source, an ethane gas source and an
inert gas source are combined into one path and flow into a gas inlet hole of the main reaction tube; the
oxygen source and the ethane gas source are combined into one path and flow into the plurality of
branch pipes after respectively passing through an
oxygen branch
pipe stop valve and an ethane branch
pipe stop valve. The method for preparing the
ethylene from the ethane oxidative
dehydrogenation comprises the steps of filling the catalyst and controlling technological parameters of the main tube and the branch pipes. According to the device and the method, a plurality of nodes can be provided for adjusting the flow
velocity ratio of oxygen to ethane in the catalyst
bed layer, so that the yield of the ethylene is obviously increased and reaches up to 18%; furthermore, the
carbonization rate of the catalyst is reduced, and the service cycle of the catalyst is prolonged.
