Effect of dilution by hydrogen, methane and steam upon the pyrolysis of propane was studied, using annular tubular reactor made of quartz under the operating conditions-between 700 and 950°C and the atomospheric pressure.
In the case of hydrogen dilution, it was found that ethylene yield increased remarkably and a higher selectivity was obtained. While the formation of carbon and tar was considerably reduced, the propylene yield also decreased in proportion to the amount of hydrogen added.
In the presence of methane, the increase in ethylene yield was considerable, but the formation of carbonaceous matter was not retarded appreciably.
In the case of steam dilution, ethylene yield improved, and the amount of carbon and tar decreased.
