A Review of the Progress in Green and Low-carbon Ethylene Production Technology
Effective combination of science,technology,and industry is driving the green and low-carbon development of the ethylene industry.The paper reviews its production technology progress from such perspectives as the device structure,coating materials,supply of power,and raw materials and proposes the enhanced heat transfer technology,coating technology,and the use of novel furnace tube materials can optimize cracker's heat efficiency.It also puts forward that novel separation materials such as MOFs have the potential in improving ethylene separation process,increases in installed renewable energy capacity and capacity to consume could provide a green foundation for the electrification of the ethylene plant,replacing fossil-based raw materials with biomass,waste plastics,carbon dioxide,and other low-carbon alternatives will result in greener ethylene production from the raw material standpoint,and production process intelligence and clean energy in production process would contribute significantly towards lowering carbon emissions.
