Process for producing branched olefins from linear olefin / paraffin feed

摘要

A process for producing branched olefins from a mixed linear olefin/paraffin isomerisation feed comprising linear olefins having at least 7 carbon atoms in 5-50%w comprising in a first stage skeletally isomerising linear olefins in the isomerisation feed and in .a second stage separating branched and linear molecules wherein branched molecules are substantially olefinic and linear molecules are olefinic and/or paraffinic; novel stages and combinations thereof; apparatus therefore; use of catalysts and the like therein; and use of branched olefins obtained thereby.
