摘要:
A process for disproportionating isopentane into isomers of hexane and butane that utilizes a fixed bed reactor employing a catalyst composition comprising aluminum halide. The process additionally includes a product separation zone which can be configured to recover and return at least a portion of the isopentane product stream to the inlet of the disproportionation reactor.
摘要:
A composition comprising a promoter and a metal oxide selected from the group consisting of a cerium oxide, a scandium oxide, a lanthanum oxide, and combinations of any two or more thereof, wherein at least a portion of the promoter is present as a reduced valence promoter and methods of preparing such composition are disclosed. The thus-obtained composition is employed in a desulfurization zone to remove sulfur from a hydrocarbon stream.
摘要:
A polymerization process for polymerizing at least one olefin in the presence of a pyridyldiimine metal complex as a catalyst having one of the following structures: The metal M of the complex is a transition metal from Group 4b, 5b or 6b of the Periodic Table such as vanadium.

摘要:
A number of process steps are provided that can be combined to produce bridged cyclopentadienyl-fluorenyl metallocenes. The process steps include production of a cyclopentadiene compound from dicyclopentadiene; production and recovery of a fulvene compound using the cyclopentadiene compound; production of a raw metallocene product using the fulvene compound; and recovery of the pure metallocene from the raw product.

The present invention provides a new type of supported metallocene catalyst system. In one aspect of the invention, an inorganic oxide support, such as silica, is impregnated with a Group XIII element such as B, Al or GA. The support is then contacted with a liquid catalyst system prepared by combining in a liquid an organo aluminoxane and a metallocene having two cyclopetadienyl-type ligands selected from substituted or unsubstituted cyclopentadienyl, indenyl, benzoindenyl, tetrahdroindenyl, benzofluorenyl, octahydrofluorenyl, and fluorenyl ligands to form a supported metallocene catalyst system. In preferred embodiments the process further includes conducting prepolymerization of at least one olefin in the presence of the supported metallocene catalyst system to produce a prepolymerized metallocene catalyst system. The prepolymerized metallocene catalyst system prepared in this manner yields substantially increased activity for the polymerization of olefins. In another aspect, the present invention also provides a method for polymerization of olefins using the inventive supported metallocene catalyst system.
