Abstract:
1. An endothermic hydrocarbon conversion process that consumes a predetermined amount of heat when a hydrocarbon feed stock reacts with a catalytic first component in a catalyst bed, the process comprising: a) providing a multi-component catalyst bed in a fluid bed reactor comprising the catalytic first component, a heat-generating second component and an inert material, wherein at least a portion of the catalytic component is mixed with the heat-generating component; b) generating an amount of heat within the catalyst bed by exposing the heat-generating second component to reducing reaction conditions or oxidizing reaction conditions or both reducing and oxidizing reaction conditions; and c) reacting a hydrocarbon feed stock with the catalytic first component of the catalyst bed to form a different hydrocarbon product, wherein the heat consumed by the reaction between the hydrocarbon feed stock and the catalytic first component is supplied by the heat generated from the heat-generating material from step b), and wherein the heat generated by the heat-generating second component is less than or equal to the amount of heat consumed by the reaction between said hydrocarbon and said catalytic first component.
