C2 Acetylene Hydrogenation
- 1. C2PT Catalyst Process Technology C2 Acetylene Hydrogenation
- 2. Ethane usually recovered from natural gas fields mainly USA Propane/butane recovered from gas fields middle east, Texas etc. Kuwait has a large butane recovery system. Also can come from LNG plants Refinery naphtha / condensate C5 to C7 paraffin based low octane naphtha from refineries also from natural gas / oil well head production Light and heavy gas oils refinery based (200 to 350°C) AGO and (350 to 550 °C) VGO The more paraffinic the feedstock the higher the ethylene yields and the greater the value of the co-products Feedstock Sources
- 3. Sulfur Cracks in furnaces to give H2S and COS. Mercaptans in C3/C4 cuts, RSH and thiophenes in gasoline, benzo-thiophenes in fuel oil Arsenic Organic or arsine Makes arsine in the furnaces and some remains as organic Mercury Metallic / organic Decomposes to metallic some remains as organic Ballast water Sea water from shipping feed stock Metals Nickel, sodium, vanadium, iron from heavy feedstocks FCCU off gas (gas compressor suction, developing trend) NOx, H2S, amines, SbH3, As , COS, O2, CO2 plus others Major Feedstock Impurities
- 4. Base Intermediate Final C2H2 + H2 = C2H4 + H2 = C2H6 C2H2 = CH2 CH CH CH2 Butadiene = Green oil CH3 C CH + H2 Methyl Acetylene = CH3 CH CH2 propylene CH2 C CH2 + H2 Propadiene = CH3 CH CH2 propylene CH2 CH CH CH2 + H2 Butadiene = CH3 CH CH2 Butylene CH2 CH CH CH2 Butadiene = Green oil Relative reactivities C2H2 > C4H6 > C3H4 (MA) >> C3H4 (PD) > C2H4 Acetylene Basic Chemistry
