METHOD OF PROCESSING LIGHT HYDROCARBONS TO SYNTHETIC GAS Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC C01B3/38 

FIELD: chemistry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to chemistry and can be used to produce synthetic gas from light hydrocarbons. Light hydrocarbons are converted to synthetic gas via conversion thereof with carbon dioxide gas at high temperature and pressure in filtration conditions on a catalytic porous membrane containing a porous module obtained via vibration moulding of an exothermal mixture of nickel and aluminium, with a catalytic coating in form of palladium or palladium-cobalt, or manganese, or gold-nickel in amount of 0.004-0.025 wt % with respect to mass of the module. The light hydrocarbons used are products of incomplete oxidation of kerosene or Fischer-Tropsch process exhaust gases, while feeding products of incomplete oxidation of kerosene into the mixture with carbon dioxide through the catalytic membrane at a rate of 15000-25000 h^-1 and feeding Fischer-Tropsch process exhaust gases into the mixture with carbon dioxide at a rate of 7500-8500 h^-1. The products of incomplete oxidation of kerosene are C₂-C₅ olefins and the Fischer-Tropsch process exhaust gases used are C₁-C₅ alkanes. Conversion of the light hydrocarbons is carried out at temperature 600-800°C.

EFFECT: obtaining synthetic gas from light hydrocarbons.
