Abstract
A process for the production of mono-olefins from a hydrocarbon feed containing one or more paraffinic hydrocarbons having at least two carbon atoms, the process comprising partial combustion of a mixture of the hydrocarbon feed and a molecular oxygen-containing gas in contact in a reaction chamber with a catalyst capable of supporting combustion beyond the normal fuel rich limit of flammability to produce heat of reaction, the reaction chamber being adapted such that at least part of the heat of reaction is transferred to the incoming feed and the velocity of the incoming feed is maintained at a value above the burning velocity of the feed mixture.
