Methatesis of Propylene to Ethylene¤

Introduction¤

The methathesis (olefin disproportionation) production of ethylene is a chemical reaction to turn propylene into ethylene and butylene. This disproportionation reaction uses molybdena-alumina catalyst and is affected by temperature and residence time.
