PROCESS FOR SEPARATING LINEAR INTERNAL OLEFINS FROM BRANCHED INTERNAL OLEFINS

摘要

A PROCESS FOR SEPARATING LINEAR INTERNAL OLEFINS FROM BRANCHED INTERNAL OLEFINS.THERE IS PROVIDED A PROCESS FOR CONVERTING A FEEDSTOCK OF LINEAR INTERNAL OLEFINS AND BRANCHED INTERNAL OLEFINS TO A PRIMARILY LINEAR INTERNAL OLEFINS COMPOSITION HAVING A LOWER CONCENTRATION OF BRANCHED INTERNAL OLEFINS THAN PRESENT IN THE FEEDSTOCK, BY :A) CONTACTING THE FEEDSTOCK WITH A LINEAR POLYAROMATIC, OPTIONALLY SUBSTITUTED, COMPOUND UNDER CONDITIONS EFFECTIVE TO FORM A LINEAR POLYAROMATIC COMPOUND-LINEAR INTERNAL OLEFIN ADDUCT ; B) SEPARATING THE LINEAR POLYAROMATIC COMPOUND-LINEAR INTERNAL OLEFIN ADDUCT FROM THE REACTION MIXTURE ;C) DISSOCIATING THE LINEAR POLYAROMATIC COMPOUND-LINEAR INTERNAL OLEFIN ADDUCT TO FORM LINEAR POLYAROMATIC COMPOUND AND A LINEAR INTERNAL OLEFIN COMPOSITION, AND OPTIONALLY D) SEPARATING THE LINEAR POLYAROMATIC COMPOUND FORMED IN STEP (C) FROM A LINEAR INTERNAL OLEFIN INTERNAL OLEFIN COMPOSITION.
