This invention relates to a process for separating and isolating saturated hydrocarbons from olefins, and in particular, to a process for separating and isolating saturated hydrocarbons from olefins in a Fisher-Tropsch stream. There is provided a process for separating olefins from saturated hydrocarbons in a feedstock, comprising:a) contacting a feedstock comprising olefins and saturated hydrocarbons, such as paraffins, with a linear polyaromatic compound under conditions effective to form a reaction mixture comprising linear polyaromatic compound-olefin adducts and saturated hydrocarbons;b) separating the linear polyaromatic compound-olefin adducts from the saturated hydrocarbons in the reaction mixture to form a saturated hydrocarbon stream and an adducted olefin stream;c) dissociating the linear polyaromatic compound-olefin adducts to form linear polyaromatic compounds and an olefin composition; and optionallyd) separating the linear polyaromatic compound formed in step c) from the olefin composition;whereby the olefin composition is enriched in the concentration of olefins over the concentration of olefins in the feedstock and the saturated hydrocarbon stream is enriched in saturated hydrocarbons over the concentration of saturated hydrocarbons in the feedstock.
