The invention relates to a design of low-carbon
alkane (C2-C5) chemical chain oxydehydrogenation to olefin technology. A catalyst adopted by the technology is a novel
bifunctional catalyst, a metallicoxide with an
oxygen-carrying function is used as an
oxygen carrier to provide
lattice oxygen for oxidative
dehydrogenation, and a
metal active ingredient with a
dehydrogenation function is loaded onthe metallic
oxide. According to the technology, a
fixed bed, a circulating
fluidized bed or a
moving bed can be taken as a reactor, in the oxidative
dehydrogenation process, the
metal active ingredient can be taken as a dehydrogenation
active center, the reaction of dehydrogenation of
alkane to olefin is taken place in the reactor, the
lattice oxygen carried by the
oxygen carrier can be selectively reacted with H2 generated in the dehydrogenation to oxidize the H2 to steam, when the reaction is completed, the catalyst losing the
lattice oxygen is oxidized and regenerated in the air to supplement the lattice oxygen while
carbon deposit is removed, and the reactivity of the catalyst is recovered. Compared with a traditional technology, in situ oxidation is conducted on the H2 generated inthe dehydrogenation to greatly improve percent conversion of the
alkane and olefin yield, demands of catalytic reaction and
catalyst regeneration can be met simultaneously, the dehydrogenation can beconducted at a lower temperature, the oxidized and regenerated catalyst carries a large amount of heat which can be provided for the dehydrogenation to achieve an operation of self-heating in the dehydrogenation process, and
energy consumption can be greatly reduced by means of the designs.
