Inventor(s) include Cui, Zhe; Du, Yanze; Zeng, Ronghui; Peng, Shaozhong; Liu, Chang; Wu, Ziming; and Hao, Wenyue.
The application for the patent was published on March 13, under issue no. 11/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a chemical conversion method for a hydrocarbon stream. The chemical conversion method of the present invention comprises the following steps: providing a hydrocarbon stream containing an alkane represented by the following structural formula (I) such that at least part of the alkane is converted to a C2-C6 n-alkane in the presence of a catalyst and hydrogen to obtain a conversion product, wherein the catalyst contains a molecular sieve and a non-noble metal hydrogenation active metal component; and performing steam cracking on the conversion product to obtain a cracking product containing ethylene. In the structural formula (I), R is a C2-C6 linear or branched alkyl group. According to the present invention, low-quality ethylene raw materials can be effectively converted into high-quality ethylene raw materials, hydrocarbon streams after hydrogenation conversion can greatly increase the ethylene and triene yield of ethylene plants, the process is simple, the operation difficulty is low, and good economic benefit is achieved."
The patent application was internationally filed on Aug. 08, 2024, under International application No.PCT/CN2024/110543.
