Isomerizing dehydration of feedstock containing a primary alcohol substituted in position 2 by an alkyl group in which the feedstock is heated to the reaction temperature by indirect heat exchange then vaporization by mixing with a diluent effluent, the diluted and vaporized feedstock being dehydrated in at least one dehydration reactor operating in gas phase at an inlet temperature comprised between 250 and 375° C., at a pressure comprised between 0.2 MPa and 1 MPa and at a WHSV comprised between 1 and 18 h.sup.−1, in the presence of a catalyst comprising a zeolite having at least one series of channels the opening of which is defined by a ring with 8 oxygen atoms (8MR) and a binder, the catalyst being coked beforehand in-situ or ex-situ, so as to produce a dehydration effluent, the latter being treated and separated into a diluent effluent, an alkenes effluent and a heavy hydrocarbons effluent.

A process is presented for the recovery of solvent used in an alkylation process. The solvent removes heavy hydrocarbons from a C4 stream. The C4 stream is passed to an alkylation unit to generate an alkylate product. A portion of the solvent is carried over with the C4 stream and needs to be recovered to reduce the aromatics content in the C4 stream, to reduce any deleterious effects of the aromatics in downstream processing.

This application consists of a method for the synthesis of a type of FER/MOR composite molecular sieve. That method consisting of mixing FER seed crystals, MOR seed crystals, a silicon source, water and an acid or alkali, thus yielding a reaction mixture; by adjusting the proportions of the seed crystals added, the silicon-aluminium proportion, acidity/alkalinity and other reaction conditions, it is possible to obtain a dual phase composite molecular sieve within which the proportions of the crystal phases may be adjusted. In the synthesis process to which the method of this application relates, there is no need to add any organic template, thus reducing the cost of the reaction, in addition to reducing likely environmental pollution, thus having major potential applications.

Improved methods of oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) of short chain alkanes or ethylbenzene to the corresponding olefins, and improved methods of oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) to ethylene and/or ethane, are disclosed. The disclosed methods use boron- or nitride-containing catalysts, and result in improved selectivity and/or byproduct profiles than methods using conventional ODH or OCM catalysts.
