Abstract:
1. A system for producing a product comprising at least one selected from oxygenates, C 2+ hydrocarbons, and combinations thereof, the system comprising: a light gas feed consisting essentially of carbon dioxide, methane, ethane, propane, butane, or a combination thereof; at least one external high shear mixing device comprising at least one generator comprising a disk-shaped, toothed rotor and a complementarily-shaped, toothed stator separated by a shear gap, wherein the shear gap is the minimum distance between the rotor and the stator, and wherein the high shear mixing device is capable of producing a tip speed of the rotor of greater than 22.9 m/s (4,500 ft/min); a pump configured for delivering a mixture comprising the light gas and a liquid medium to the high shear mixing device; a catalytic reactor downstream of the at least one high shear mixing device, the catalytic reactor comprising a product outlet and an inlet configured to receive a dispersion of light gas bubbles in a liquid phase comprising liquid medium from an outlet of the at least one high shear mixing device; and a dehydrogenation catalyst.
