Abstract

1-Hexene was oligomerized at 200° C and a pressure of 5 MPa in a down-flow fixed-bed tubular reactor filled with beidellite or ultrastable Y zeolite catalysts. Vapor, liquid, and supercritical states of the reacting hydrocarbons in the reactor tube were established by using propane, pentane, octane, and dodecane as solvents. The initial activity, stability with operation time, and selectivity are very dependent on the physical state of the ...
