Gas to olefins processes with coproduction of hydrogen

Abstract

The present disclosure relates in its first aspect to a process of converting a stream comprising methane into chemicals, said process being remarkable in that it comprises the steps of providing a first stream () comprising methane, providing a second stream () which is a bromine-rich stream, putting into contact said first stream () with said second stream () to obtain a third stream () comprising at least unreacted methane, methyl bromide, dibromomethane, and hydrogen bromide and removing said dibromomethane from said third stream (), to produce a dibromomethane stream () and a fourth stream () comprising unreacted methane, methyl bromide and hydrogen bromide; wherein the fourth stream () is converted into chemicals. In its second aspect, the present disclosure concerns an installation for carrying out the process of the first aspect.
