Assignee: ENI S.P.A.
Field: Organic fine chemistry (Chemistry)
Classification: CPC C  B  Y | IPC B  C

Claim 8:
9. The process of claim 1, wherein the CPO reaction zone is characterized by at least one CPO operational parameter selected from the group consisting of a CPO feed temperature of from about 25° C. to about 600° C.; a CPO effluent temperature of from about 300° C. to about 1,600° C.; a CPO pressure of from about 1 barg to about 90 barg; a CPO contact time of from about 0.001 milliseconds (ms) to about 5 seconds (s); a carbon to oxygen (C/O) molar ratio in the CPO reactant mixture of from about 0.5:1 to about 3:1, wherein the C/O molar ratio refers to the total moles of carbon (C) of hydrocarbons in the reactant mixture divided by the total moles of oxygen (O) in the reactant mixture; a steam to carbon (S/C) molar ratio in the CPO reactant mixture of from about 0.01:1 to less than about 2.4:1, wherein the S/C molar ratio refers to the total moles of water (H2O) in the reactant mixture divided by the total moles of carbon (C) of hydrocarbons in the reactant mixture; and combinations thereof.
