Abstract:
The present invention related to a process for the conversion of propylene as petrochemical building blocks along with methanol via in-situ CO2 hydrogenation. The  process provides an olefin (propylene) rich hydrocarbon along with methanol from dehydrogenation of propane with CO2 over metal supported alumina-silicates  zeolites. The catalyst contains no precious metal entities and may contain one metal from group IV supported on KFI type alumina-silicates zeolites. Particularly the  present invention relates to a catalyst excluding novel metals form group IV for co-production of methanol and propylene a continuous fixed bed reactor system under  atmospheric pressure. More particularly, the present invention relates to a low temperature process to produce propylene and methanol over alumina-silicates zeolites.  The process provides ~3-8% and 0.5-3% conversation of propane and CO2 with 85-95% and 92-99% propylene and methanol selectivity respectively.
