Title: Bu Young Jo: Innovator in Olefin Production
Introduction
Bu Young Jo is a prominent inventor based in Anyang-si, South Korea. He has made significant contributions to the field of chemical engineering, particularly in the production of olefins. With a total of 4 patents to his name, his work has been instrumental in enhancing the efficiency and economic viability of olefin production processes.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is a method for collecting hard olefin. This invention relates to a method for recovering light olefins, which can achieve an increase in propylene production and a reduction in the basic unit of a process. By feeding steam into five serially connected dehydrogenation reactors, the method diversifies the product of a propane dehydrogenation reaction process from a propylene single product into both propylene and ethylene. This is accomplished by separately collecting ethane and ethylene, which are by-products of the propylene production process, and converting the ethane into ethylene. This innovation significantly improves the economic efficiency of the process and selectivity.
Another notable patent is related to a dehydrogenation catalyst. This invention involves a dehydrogenation catalyst in which a platinum-group metal, an assistant metal, and an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal component are supported on a carrier. The molar ratio of platinum to the assistant metal is maintained between 0.5 to 1.49, and the catalyst exhibits an acidity amount of 20 to 150 µmol KOH/g catalyst when titrated with KOH. This catalyst prevents rapid coke formation when the hydrogen/hydrocarbon ratio in a dehydrogenation reaction is reduced, thereby increasing the productivity of the process and improving its economic feasibility.
