METHOD OF CATALYTIC DEHYDROGENATION OF HYDROCARBONS Russian patent published in 1998 - IPC

FIELD: catalytic dehydrogenation of hydrocarbons, in particular, dehydrogenation of butane with formation of butadiene under the effect of electromagnetic radiation of superhigh frequency range. SUBSTANCE: method includes employment of energy carrier in the form of powerful radiation of electromagnetic radiation of superhigh frequency range which is converted in mass of catalyst into heat energy to ensure conduction of endothermal process of dehydrogenation of hydrocarbon raw material in contact of raw material with catalyst without preliminary heating of hydrocarbon raw material. EFFECT: higher energy efficiency of reactor. 2 dwg, 2 tbl
