Ethylene is the starting material for several industrial syntheses as an intermediate in the chemical industry and for the production of plastics which is produced commercially by the steam cracking of a wide range of hydrocarbon feedstocks, Olefin cracking and interconversion processes to boost light olefins output. Typically, the plants also can convert C4-C8 olefins and light pyrolysis gasoline into ethylene and propylene. Nowadays, the propylene is also produced by using on-purpose process technologies such as propane dehydrogenation (PDH) and metathesis.
Anyway, to get high qualified Ethylene, Proylene to produce variety of the platics, you need to get a purification process to remove the impurities coming from the feed materials, pipes like the residues, COS, CO2, Chloride, Arsine etc. Chempack offers serial of PuriSorb Catalyst for this purpose.
