Abstract

Due to the great development made in converting the shale gas into the more valuable products, research and commercialization for production technology of olefins like propylene, butenes, butadiene from light alkanes have been intensively investigated. Especially the technology using oxygen like oxidative dehydrogenation or selective hydrogen combustion to overcome thermodynamic limit of direct dehydrogenation conversion has been extensively studied and some cases of applying this technology to the plant scale was reported. In this review, we have categorized the technology into two parts; gas phase oxygen utilization technology and lattice oxygen utilization technology. The trends, results and future direction of the technology are discussed.

최근 셰일가스의 개발로 프로판, 부탄과 같은 경질알칸으로부터 프로필렌, 부텐, 부타디엔과 같은 올레핀을 제조하는 탈수소 공정에 대한 연구와 상용화가 많이 진행되었다. 특히 직접 탈수소화 반응의 열역학적 한계를 극복하고자 산화적 탈수소 또는 선택적 수소 산화 반응과 같이 산소를 활용한 기술의 연구개발이 진행되거나, 실제 공정에 적용된 사례들도 보고되고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 경질알칸의 탈수소 반응을 위한 산소활용기술의 최근 연구동향을 가스상의 산소를 활용하는 방법과 고체산화물의 격자산소를 활용한 기술로 나누어 정리하고, 산소활용기술의 현황과 연구 개발 방향 및 향후 전망에 대해 고찰하였다. 반응물의 반응성에 따라 기체상 산소의 적용이 용이한 경우와 반응성의 조절을 위해 격자산소를 이용하는 기술로 분류할 수 있었고, 전환율을 높이면서 선택도를 낮추지 않는 기술의 개발이 주요한 목표가 되었다.
