CONVERSION OF C1-C3 ALKANES AND FISCHER-TROPSCH PRODUCTS TO NORMAL ALPHA OLEFINS AND OTHER LIQUID HYDROCARBONS

摘要

Processes for converting C1 to C3 alkanes into high purity C6 to C24 normal alpha olefins and internal combustion engine grade fuels and/or lubricating oils comprising a sequence of fractionation and thermal cracking and/or hydrocracking operations. The C6 to C24 normal alpha olefin fractions generally have a purity of at least about 90 wt. %.
