PRODUCTION OF LINEAR ALKYL BENZENE

摘要

This invention relates to a process for producing linear alkyl benzene and linear paraffins, the process including the steps of obtaining a hydrocarbon condensate containing olefins, paraffins and oxygenates from a low temperatu re Fischer-Tropsch reaction; a) fractionating a desired carbon number distribution from the hydrocarbon condensate to form a fractionated hydrocarbon condensate stream; b) extracting oxygenates from the fractionate d hydrocarbon condensate stream from step a) to form a stream containing olefi ns and paraffins; c) alkylating the stream containing olefins and paraffins fro m step b) with benzene in the presence of a suitable alkylation catalyst; and d) recovering linear alkyl benzene and linear paraffin.
