HYDROCARBON COMPOSITIONS USEFUL FOR PRODUCING FUELS

摘要

A hydrocarbon composition comprises at least 90 wt.% of C₉ to C₂₀ non- normal olefins, non-normal saturates or combinations thereof based on the weight of the hydrocarbon composition, at least 2 wt.% and not greater than 25 wt.% of C₉ hydrocarbons based on the weight of the hydrocarbon composition, and less than 15 wt.% of C₁₇+ hydrocarbons based on the weight of the hydrocarbon composition, wherein said hydrocarbon composition has a specific gravity at 15°C of at least 0.730 and less than 0.775. The composition is produced by oligomerization of at least one C₃ to C₈ olefin and an olefinic recycle stream rich in C₉- hydrocarbons. The composition is useful in producing fuel blends, such as jet fuel and diesel fuel.
