    Abstract: Linear alpha olefins (LAOS) may be formed by oligomerization of ethylene in the presence of a Ziegler-type catalyst. The presence of trace water during oligomerization can result in unwanted formation of insoluble higher oligomers or polymer. Methods for limiting the presence of water during ethylene oligomerization reactions may include separating residual ethylene and 1-butene from an LAO product stream to form a higher LAO-enriched stream comprising C6+ LAOs, separating 1-hexene as an overhead stream from the higher-LAO enriched stream using a first distillation column, obtaining separated solvent as a side stream from the first distillation column or as a side stream from a first of one or more downstream distillation columns, and returning the separated solvent to a reactor in a recycled solvent stream. The recycled solvent stream passes through one or more driers before returning to the reactor.

    Abstract: A process for producing para-xylene, by (a) contacting toluene with methanol in the presence of an alkylation catalyst under conditions effective to produce an alkylation effluent comprising xylenes and a by-product mixture comprising water, dimethyl ether and C4− hydrocarbons; (b) separating the alkylation effluent into a first fraction containing xylenes and a second fraction containing the by-product mixture; (c) removing water from the second fraction to produce a dried by-product mixture; (d) fractionating the dried by-product mixture to separate the mixture into a bottoms stream containing dimethyl ether and an overhead stream containing at least some of the C4- hydrocarbons; and (e) recovering ethylene and propylene from the overhead stream.
