Applicants have developed a new residuum full hydroconversion slurry reactor system that allows the catalyst, unconverted oil, hydrogen, and converted oil to circulate in a continuous mixture throughout an entire reactor with no confinement of the mixture. The mixture is separated internally, within one of more of the reactors, to separate only the converted oil and hydrogen into a vapor product while permitting the unconverted oil and the slurry catalyst to continue on into the next sequential reactor as a liquid product. A portion of the unconverted oil is then converted to lower boiling point hydrocarbons in the next reactor, once again creating a mixture of unconverted oil, hydrogen, converted oil, and slurry catalyst. Further hydroprocessing may occur in additional reactors, fully converting the oil. The oil may alternately be partially converted, leaving a concentrated catalyst in unconverted oil which can be recycled directly to the first reactor.

The invention belongs to the technical field of chemical material preparing methods, and particularly relates to a method for preparing ethylene through liquid-phase selective hydrogenation of acetylene in a slurry reactor. A liquid-phase solvent with high selective solubility for acetylene and low selective solubility for ethylene is introduced into a gas-solid catalytic system, and the relative solubility coefficient of the solvent is larger than 8; a catalyst is dispersed evenly in the liquid-phase solvent, and process coupling is achieved through the high selective solubility of the liquid-phase solvent for acetylene, so that the selectivity of ethylene is improved; and ethylene is prepared and separated through an hydrogenation reaction of acetylene.

A polyolefin production system, comprising a polymerization reactor (such as a polyethylene loop slurry reactor) and a fractionation system that receives reactor effluent processed in a diluent / monomer recovery system for recycle to the reactor and to suppliers. A conduit diverts a portion of a reflux flow comprising monomer, such as ethylene, from within the fractionation system to the polymerization reactor, providing for less venting of monomer, such as ethylene, to the supplier. Accordingly, monomer yield is advantageously increased, as the monomer returned to the reactor displaces monomer feedstock to the reactor. The reflux flow may originate from a condensed overhead lights from a diluent recycle column disposed in the fractionation subsystem. The diluent recycle column may receive a stream comprising diluent and monomer as feed from the diluent / monomer recovery subsystem, and may receive the non-diverted portion of the reflux flow as reflux.
