The application discloses a C5-C6
hydrocarbon conversion method. The method comprises the following steps: (1) C5-C6
hydrocarbon is separated by normal and iso separation, and the separated normal
pentane and normal
hexane are directly used as
ethylene raw materials; (2) the separated iso-
pentane and iso-
hexane in step (1) are mixed with
hydrogen and pass through a hydroconversion
reaction zone, the hydroconversion
reaction zone is filled with at least two hydroconversion catalyst beds, the active
metal content of the hydroconversion catalysts decreases in turn along the flow direction, and the active
metal content of the hydroconversion catalysts filled in the adjacent two catalyst beds differs by 1-25 percentage points in terms of oxides; and (3) the reaction
effluent of step (2) enters a
separation system, and the
hydrogen-rich gas and the hydroconversion product are separated, the C2-C4
hydrocarbon in the hydroconversion product is directly used as
ethylene raw materials, and the C5-C6 hydrocarbon is recycled to step (1) for
continuous reaction. By adopting the method, the quality of the
ethylene raw materials can be maximized, and the ethylene yield and the total triene yield of the ethylene device can be significantly improved.
