AI Technical Summary
Existing low-carbon olefin production processes suffer from low ethylene and propylene yields, as well as problems related to thermal cracking and excessive energy consumption.
The process involves reacting olefin-rich feedstock with a thermally regenerated catalyst in a dense-phase fluidized bed, rapidly cooling the feedstock in a cooling zone, and quickly separating the gas and solid phases. Combined with a sliding valve to control the catalyst density, the thermal cracking reaction is suppressed, resulting in increased production of low-carbon olefins and reduced energy consumption.
It improved the yield of low-carbon olefins, especially the ethylene to propylene ratio, while reducing by-product yield and energy consumption.
