Method for forming unsaturated organics from organic-containing feed by employing a Bronsted acid
First Claim
1. A method for producing an unsaturated organic compound from an alkane component of an organic-containing feed, comprising the steps of:
- a) providing a reactor containing a bath, said bath comprising a Bronsted acid which can protonate an alkane component of the organic-containing feed;
b) directing the feed into contact with the bath at a rate which causes the Bronsted acid to protonate said alkane component; and
c) establishing and maintaining conditions in the reactor which cause the protonated alkane component to fragment and form a carbenium ion and an unsaturated organic component.

Abstract
The invention relates to a method for producing an unsaturated organic compound from an organic-containing feed. The method includes providing a reactor containing a liquid bath which includes a Bronsted acid that can protonate an organic component of the organic-containing feed. The feed is directed into the liquid bath at a rate which causes the Bronsted acid to protonate the organic component. Conditions are established and maintained in the reactor which cause the protonated organic component to fragment and form a carbenium ion and an unsaturated organic compound, whereby the unsaturated organic compound is discharged from the liquid bath.

-
a) providing a reactor containing a bath, said bath comprising a ceramic phase and a molten metal phase, the ceramic phase comprising a Bronsted acid which can protonate an alkane component of the organic-containing feed; b) directing the feed into contact with the bath at a rate which causes the Bronsted acid to protonate said alkane component; and c) establishing and maintaining conditions in the reactor which cause the protonated alkane component to fragment and form a carbenium ion and an unsaturated organic compound. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24)
