Liquid phase selective hydrogenation of a normally gaseous feedstock containing ethylene, acetylene and naptha

摘要

Process for selective hydrogenation in a liquid phase of an effluent originating from an ethane steam cracker, in which the said effluent is brought into contact with a catalyst consisting of at least supported palladium, characterised in that the operation is carried out in the presence of a liquid phase containing at least a proportion of the hydrogenated, condensed and recycled petrol cut of the said effluent. …??The said effluent (1), the said liquid phase (8) and optionally hydrogen (13) pass through the hydrogenation reactor (4). The product obtained is fractionated (5) into a head gas cut (7) containing ethylene and a bottom liquid petrol cut which is partially recycled (8). …??The process can be employed for the production of ethylene and for the production of petrol. …IMAGE…
