Catalytic conversion of oxygenated compounds to low molecular weight olefins. Annual report for January 1--December 31, 1978

Description: The conversion of methanol or synthesis gas is an attractive route for producing ethylene and propylene from coal. Utilizing a chabazite ion exchanged with ammonium and rare earth chlorides, methanol is converted to ethylene, propylene, and propane with carbon yields of 70 to 90% at reaction temperatures of 360 to 450/sup 0/C and pressures from 1 to 18 atmospheres. Carbon disulfide in the feed at concentrations less than 2000 ppm increases the operating time between regenerations from four hour… more
