Abstract

Dehydrogenation of propane in the presence of CO₂ was considered as an alternative to commercial dehydrogenation pathway of obtaining propene and the new sources of synthesis gas. Based on thermodynamic calculations and a catalytic tests it was shown that by controlling CO₂ concentration in the feed the molar ratio of H₂/CO (synthesis gas) in the products mixture can be regulated. Several different pathways of DHP-CO₂ process integration with commercialized chemical processes utilized synthesis gas were proposed
