Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing linear alpha olefins by means of an isomerising metathetical reaction and ensuing ethenolysis. The method comprises the following steps: i) a C4-C10 olefin fraction is introduced into an isomerising metathesis reaction; ii) the mixture obtained is separated into a) a C2-C3-olefin fraction, b) a fraction containing olefins having the desired carbon count, c) a light fraction containing olefins having a carbon count of C4 or above, but below the carbon count of the desired fraction b) and, d) a heavy fraction containing olefins having a carbon count which is above the carbon count of the desired fraction b); iii) the light fraction c) and optionally the heavy fraction d) are redirected into the isomerising metathesis reaction i); iv) the fraction b) and optionally the fraction d) are introduced into an ethenolysis reaction; and v) the alpha olefin fraction produced in iv) is isolated. Linear C8-C12 alpha olefins can be especially produced using said method.

Abstract:
The production of alkylaryl compounds comprises the following stages: a) reaction of a C4/C5 olefin mixture on a metathesis catalyst to produce a C 4-8 olefin mixture containing 2-pentene and the optional isolation of the C 4-8 olefin mixture; b) isolation of between 5 and 100 % of the 2-pentene obtained in step a) and subsequent reaction on an isomerisation catalyst to form a mixture of 2-pentene and 1-pentene, which is returned to stage a); c) dimerisation of the C 4-8 olefin mixture obtained in stage b) after the isolation process, to form a mixture containing C 8-16 olefins, isolation of the C 8-16 olefins and optional isolation of a partial stream of the latter; d) reaction of the C 8-16 olefin mixtures obtained in stage c) or the partial stream with an aromatic hydrocarbon in the presence of an alkylation catalyst, to form alkyl aromatic compounds, whereby prior to the reaction an additional 0 to 60 wt. % linear olefins, in relation to the C 8-16 olefin mixtures obtained in stage c), can be added; e) optional sulphonation of the alkyl aromatic compounds obtained in stage d) and neutralisation to form alkylaryl sulphonates, whereby prior to the sulphonation an additional 0 to 60 wt. % linear alkyl benzols, in relation to the alkyl aromatic compounds obtained in stage d), can be added, provided that there were no admixtures in stage d); f) optional mixing of the alkylaryl sulphonates obtained in stage e) with between 0 and 60 wt. %, linear alkylaryl sulphonates, in relation to the alkylaryl sulphonates obtained in stage e), provided that there were no admixtures in stages d) and e).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing a supported catalyst, consisting of at least 75 wt. % Al2O3, whose delta- or theta-modified fraction of Al2O3 is at least 1 % of the total Al2O3 fraction and which contains a rhenium compound and optionally a promoter as the active component (A). According to the invention: a) a modified support (T) is produced from a conventional support (T) consisting of at least 75 wt. % of Al2O3, to which a promoter is optionally applied, the delta- or theta-modified fraction of the Al2O3 being at least 1 % of the total Al2O3 fraction, by the calcination of the conventional support (T) at a temperature of between 750 and 1100 DEG C; b) a supported catalyst precursor is produced from the modified support (T) by the application of the active component comprising the rhenium compound (A) to the modified support (T); and c) the supported catalyst precursor is calcinated at a temperature of between 500 and 750 DEG C.
