Abstract:
This invention relates to a process for the production of olefins, alcohols, ethers, and olefin oxides from alkanes in a halogen, preferably bromine or chlorine, system, wherein there are halogenation (reaction of halogen with the alkanes), oxidation (reaction of alkyl halide with a metal oxide), neutralization (reaction of hydrogen halide and metal oxide), and regeneration (reaction of metal halide with air, oxygen, or other oxygen gas containing mixtures) reactions which take place in the process and that these reactions, at least, are carried out in reactors made from metallurgy including zirconium and/or zirconium-based alloys that contain varying amounts of alloying elements such as tin, niobium, chromium, iron, oxygen, and nickel. Preferably, this same metallurgy is used in the fabrication of separation and purification equipment for the process.
