Abstract
A method for processing hydrocarbons and carbon dioxide may include combining a hydrocarbon mixture with carbon dioxide to produce a reactant mixture, which may include at least 95 mol. % of the combination of the hydrocarbon mixture and the carbon dioxide. The molar ratio of carbon dioxide to the hydrocarbon mixture in the reactant mixture may be from 0.01 to 100. The hydrocarbon mixture may include from 30 mol. % to 90 mol. % of propane, 5 mol. % to 50 mol. % of n-butane, and 5 mol. % to 50 mol. % of iso-butane. The method may also include contacting the reactant mixture with a catalyst in a reactor to produce a product mixture and passing the product mixture out of the reactor. The product mixture may include from 5 mol. % to 50 mol. % of one or more olefins, 1 mol. % to 25 mol. % of hydrogen gas, and 1 mol. % to 25 mol. % of carbon monoxide.
