Abstract:
1. A reactor for the oxidative coupling of hydrocarbons comprising: a reactor vessel having a reaction contact surface; one or more inlets for feeding at least one hydrocarbon feedstream; an inlet for providing an oxygen source; an outlet for recovering a product from the reactor; wherein the reactor comprises a lining or coating covering at least a portion of wetted parts of the reactor, wherein the lining or coating comprises a glass lining, quartz wool, a ceramic coating comprising an oxidative catalyst, or combinations thereof, and wherein the reaction contact surface of the reactor vessel does not provide a significant detrimental catalyzing effect under conditions for the oxidative coupling of hydrocarbons; wherein the reactor has a single reactive zone; and wherein the single reactive zone is in fluid communication with a separation zone, and wherein the product flows from the single reactive zone into the separation zone, wherein the separation zone is in fluid communication with an alkylation reaction zone and a dehydrogenation zone.
