摘要:
A process for the oligomerization of olefins includes treating, e.g., water washing, an olefin-containing hydrocarbon stream to lower the concentration of an organic nitrogen-containing Lewis base contained therein until the treated hydrocarbon stream is substantially free of the Lewis base; and subsequently contacting the treated hydrocarbon stream with a molecular sieve catalyst to produce a product including at least one oligomer.
摘要:
Nitrogen-containing Lewis bases act as poisons for molecular sieve catalysts used in oligomerisation reactions. Lowering their presence in the feed prior to the contacting thereof with the molecular sieve brings a significant extension of catalyst life. Thus, processes that are directed to the lowering of these poisons are provided.
