Title:
INTEGRATED PROCESS FOR SYNTHESIZING ALCOHOLS, ETHERS, AND OLEFINS FROM ALKANES
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2003062172
Kind Code:
B1
Abstract:
Alcohols, ethers, and olefins are manufactured from alkanes by mixing an alkane and bromine in a reactor to form alkyl bromide and hydrogen bromide. The alkyl bromide only or the alkyl bromide and the hydrogen bromide are directed into contact with metal oxide to form an alcohol and/or an ether, or an olefin and metal bromide. The metal bromide is oxidized to form original metal oxide and bromine, both of which are recycled.
