Integrated process for synthesizing alchols, ethers and olefins from alkanes

Alcohols, ethers and olefins are manufactured from alkanes by mixing an alkane and bromine in a reactor to form alkyl bromide and hydrogen bromide. The alkyl bromide only or the alkyl bromide and the hydrogen bromide are directed into contact with the metal oxide to form an alcohol and/or ether, or...

Zusammenfassung:Alcohols, ethers and olefins are manufactured from alkanes by mixing an alkane and bromine in a reactor to form alkyl bromide and hydrogen bromide. The alkyl bromide only or the alkyl bromide and the hydrogen bromide are directed into contact with the metal oxide to form an alcohol and/or ether, or an olefin and metal bromide. The metal bromide is oxidised to form original metal oxide and bromine, both of which are recycled.
