IMPROVEMENTS IN OR RELATING TO METHOD OF CONVERSION OF NATURAL GAS OR OF LIGHT ALKANES INTO UNSATURATED HYDROCARBONS

摘要

The present invention relates to a process for conversion of natural gas or of a light alkane or light alkanes into unsaturated hydrocarbons. …??According to the invention, a fluidised bed of particles of a refractory and advantageously catalytic material is created inside a reaction space, and a plasma of a gas containing hydrogen and the natural gas or the light alkane or alkanes is introduced into the bed in such a way that the latter quenches the reaction medium and catalyses the conversion reaction. …??The invention is in particular applicable in the chemical and energy-producing industries.
