Propene production from mixture, comprising ethylene, hexenes, other olefins and optionally other inert hydrocarbons,contacted with a metathesis catalyst at high temperature

摘要

Production of propene (Pr) from a mixture (M1) that comprises: (1) ethylene (E); (2) hexenes (H); (3) other olefins (K1a); and (4) optionally other inert hydrocarbons (K1b). The mixture is contacted with a metathesis catalyst (MC) at 20-350 deg C. Production of propene from a mixture (M1) that comprises: (1) ethylene (E); (2) hexenes (H); (3) other olefins (K1a); and (4) optionally other inert hydrocarbons (K1b). The mixture is contacted with a metathesis catalyst (MC) at 20-350 deg C. The mixture (M1) has: (i) a molar proportion of the sum of 2-hexene (H2) and 3-hexene (H3) in (H) of 4-99:1; (ii) a molar ratio of (E) to the sum of (H) and (K1a) of 1-100:1; and (iii) a ratio of (H2) to (H3) of at least 2:1, as long as (H3) is not simultaneously isomerized to increase the (H2) proportion correspondingly.
