Abstract
Propane pyrolysis at atmospheric pressures and temperatures of 500–700°C in the presence of a bimetallic catalyst containing 50 wt % Ni, 40 wt % Cu, and a silicon dioxide textural promoter has been investigated. It has been established experimentally that the reactor geometry and the way the reactants are let in and out exert an effect on the catalytic pyrolysis. The overall process rate is mainly determined by the heterogeneous reaction occurring on the catalyst surface. The homogeneous constituent of the process has an effect on the propane conversion at the early stages of the reaction.
