Abstract:
Methods of simultaneously converting butanes and methanol to olefins over Ti-containing zeolite catalysts are described. The exothermicity of the alcohols to olefins reaction is matched by endothermicity of dehydrogenation reaction of butane(s) to light olefins resulting in a thermo-neutral process. The Ti-containing zeolites provide excellent selectivity to light olefins as well as exceptionally high hydrothermal stability. The coupled reaction may advantageously be conducted in a staged reactor with methanol/DME conversion zones alternating with zones for butane(s) dehydrogenation. The resulting light olefins can then be reacted with iso-butane to produce high-octane alkylate. The net result is a highly efficient and low cost method for converting methanol and butanes to alkylate.

Claim (Index 32):
The staged reactor system of any of  claim 29  wherein the dehydrogenation second catalyst comprises at least 1, or at least 2, or at least 5 wt %, or any of these minimum amounts with an upper bound of 25, or 20, or 15, or 10 wt % of Pt, Pd, Nickel, Cobalt, Copper, Zinc, Iron, Ru, Rh, Sn, or combinations thereof.
