Systems and methods for processing a C.sub.4 and C.sub.5 stream are disclosed. A pygas stream can be separated in a depentanizer to produce a C.sub.4 and C.sub.5 stream and a C.sub.6 to C.sub.9+ stream. The C.sub.4 and C.sub.5 stream is further processed to recover C.sub.5 dienes including isoprene, pentadiene, cyclopentadiene, or combinations thereof. The C.sub.6 to C.sub.9+ stream is further processed to recover aromatics including benzene, toluene, xylene, ethylbenzene, or combinations thereof.

The present invention relates to a method for recovering light olefins, which can achieve an increase in propylene production and a reduction in the basic unit of a process by feeding steam into five serially connected dehydrogenation reactors, and can diversify the product of a propane dehydrogenation reaction process from a propylene single product into propylene and ethylene by separately collecting ethane and ethylene, i.e., by-products of the propylene production process, and converting the ethane into ethylene, thereby improving the economic efficiency of the process and selectivity.

Producing C5 olefins from steam cracker C5 feeds may include reacting a mixed hydrocarbon stream comprising cyclopentadiene, C5 olefins, and C6+ hydrocarbons in a dimerization reactor where cyclopentadiene is dimerized to dicyclopentadiene. The dimerization reactor effluent may be separated into a fraction comprising the C6+ hydrocarbons and dicyclopentadiene and a second fraction comprising C5 olefins and C5 dienes. The second fraction, a saturated hydrocarbon diluent stream, and hydrogen may be fed to a catalytic distillation reactor system for concurrently separating linear C5 olefins from saturated hydrocarbon diluent, cyclic C5 olefins, and C5 dienes contained in the second fraction and selectively hydrogenating C5 dienes. An overhead distillate including the linear C5 olefins and a bottoms product including cyclic C5 olefins are recovered from the catalytic distillation reactor system. Other aspects of the C5 olefin systems and processes, including catalyst configurations and control schemes, are also described.

Disclosed is a process for converting methane into value-added compounds. In this process, a gas mixture containing hydrogen as well as high-concentration acetylene formed through methane pyrolysis (e.g. non-oxidative coupling of methane) is selectively hydrogenated in the presence of a bimetallic supported catalyst. This process obtains ethylene from acetylene in the gas mixture while unreacted methane and hydrogen are recovered as byproducts and/or additionally recycled.
