Abstract:
Processes for the production of linear alkylbenzenes from a renewable feedstock. Prior to converting the side chains of the glycerides and free fatty acids of the feedstock into hydrocarbons, the feedstock is separated into a stream rich in C10 and C14 free fatty acids glycerides having C10 and C14 fatty acid side chains and at least one, preferably two, other glyceride streams. The stream rich in glycerides having C10 and C14 fatty acid side chains can be converted via deoxygenation into a stream rich in C9 to C14 hydrocarbons while the other glyceride streams can be used as vegetable oil. A C10 to C13 hydrocarbon fraction from the stream rich in C9 to C14 hydrocarbons may be dehydrogenated to form olefins which may be reacted with benzene to form linear alkylbenzenes. The linear alkylbenzenes may be used to produce surfactants.
Abstract:
Processes for providing a high purity olefin product are described. The processes involve dehydrating a feedstream comprising a mixture of alcohols having 3 to 8 carbon atoms and forming a mixed olefin stream and a water stream, the mixed olefin stream comprising a mixture of olefins having 3 to 8 carbon atoms. The mixed olefin stream is separated into at least a C3 olefin stream comprising olefins having 3 carbon atoms and a C4-8 olefin stream comprising olefins having 4 to 8 carbon atoms. The C4-8 olefin stream is separated into a C4 olefin stream comprising olefins having 4 carbon atoms and a C5-8 olefin stream comprising olefins having 5 to 8 carbon atoms. At least one of the C3 olefin stream and the C4 olefin stream is purified.
Abstract:
Processes for producing jet-range hydrocarbons includes splitting a renewable olefin feedstock comprising C3 to C8 olefins into a plurality of streams and passing each stream to an oligomerization reactor containing a zeolite catalyst to produce an oligomerized effluent. The reactors may be arranged in series, such that an oligomerized effluent comprises a diluent for a downstream reactor. The net oligomerized effluent may be separated and a heavy olefin stream comprising C8+ olefins may be hydrogenated and separated to provide a distillate range hydrocarbon product.
Abstract:
A linear alkylbenzene product and a linear alkylbenzene sulfonate product from a natural oil are provided. The linear alkylbenzene product comprises alkylbenzenes having the formula C6H5CnH2n+1 wherein n is from 12 to 13; wherein the alkylbenzenes have at least 7 mass % modern carbon as measured by ASTM Method 6866; and wherein the alkyl group is a linear alkyl group for at least 80 mass % of the alkylbenzenes having the formula C6H5CnH2n+1 wherein n is from 12 to 13.
