AI Technical Summary
Existing technologies are insufficient to effectively convert isoalkanes in hydrocracking light naphtha into n-alkanes, resulting in low-quality ethylene feedstock.
A fixed-bed reactor is used, in which hydroconversion catalysts containing ZSM-5 molecular sieve and mordenite are sequentially loaded along the flow direction. Through a graded catalyst bed, isoparaffins are converted into n-paraffins by utilizing the high cracking performance of ZSM-5 molecular sieve and the normalization performance of mordenite.
This increased the proportion of n-alkanes in the hydrogenation conversion products, reduced hydrogen consumption in the reaction, simplified the process flow, lowered equipment investment and operating costs, and improved the ethylene yield of the ethylene plant.
