Title:
HYDROCARBON CONVERSION
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2015/084576
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
This disclosure relates to the conversion of methane to higher molecular weight (C5+) hydrocarbon, including aromatic hydrocarbon, to materials and equipment useful in such conversion, and to the use of such conversion for, e.g., natural gas upgrading. A process for producing aromatic hydrocarbon, the process comprising: (a) providing a feed comprising at least one C2+aliphatic hydrocarbon, at least one Ci+organic oxygenate and at least 9 mole % of methane, the mole percent being based on per mole of feed, wherein the molar ratio of methane to Ci+oxygenate in the feed is in the range of 0.6:1 to 20:1 and the molar ratio of methane to C2+aliphatic hydrocarbon in the feed is in the range of from 0.1:1 1 to 20:1; (b) contacting the feed with a catalyst comprising at least one molecular sieve and at least one dehydrogenation component under conditions, including a temperature<700°C, effective to convert at least part of the methane, C2+hydrocarbon and C1+organic oxygenate in the feed to a product comprising at least 5 wt. % of Cs+hydrocarbon based on the weight of the product; and (c) separating at least part of the C5+hydrocarbon from the product.
