Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The invention relates to processes for converting a mixture of hydrocarbon and oxygenate into products containing acetylene and carbon monoxide. The invention also relates to utilizing at least a portion of the acetylene and carbon monoxide for producing xylenes such as p-xylene, utilizing at least a portion of xylenes for producing polymeric fibers, and to equipment useful for these processes.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A hydrocarbon conversion process, comprising: (a) providing a first mixture, the first mixture comprising ≧25.0 wt. % of methane, ≧5.0 wt. % molecular hydrogen, and an oxygenate, the oxygenate comprises ≧10.0 wt. % of carbon dioxide and/or carbon monoxide, the weight percents being based on the weight of the first mixture; (b) exposing the first mixture to a temperature ≧700° C. in a first region under pyrolysis conditions to produce a second mixture…
