Bifunctional Catalysts Based on Tungsten Hydrides Supported on Silicated Alumina for the Direct Production of 2,3-Dimethylbutenes and Neohexene from Isobutene

Well-defined bifunctional supported catalysts that comprise tungsten hydride moieties and Br?nsted acid sites were prepared successfully. The catalysts showed outstanding activities and selectivities toward the formation of high-value-added products, 2,3-dimethylbutenes and 3,3-dimethylbutene, through a combination of the metathesis and dimerization of isobutene. The relationship between the physicochemical properties of the catalysts and their activities and selectivities indicated that isobutene conversion increased from 4 to 95 % as a function of the silica content of the silicated alumina (obtained from Sasol). Nevertheless, the selectivity toward branched hexenes showed a volcano-shaped curve that presented a maximum for the catalyst with 5 wt % silica. Therefore, the control of the support acidity by the silica loading on alumina resulted in an increase of the selectivity toward neohexene.

PROCESS AND CATALYSTS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF DIESEL AND GASOLINE ADDITIVES FROM GLYCEROL

A method of producing one or more glycerol ethers, the method comprising contacting glycerol and tertiary butanol (TBA) in the presence of an acidic catalyst to produce one or more glycerol ethers selected from mono-tert butyl glycerol ethers, di-tert butyl glycerol ethers, tri-tert butyl glycerol ethers, or a combination thereof; separating water and a stream comprising isobutylene, unreacted TBA, or a combination thereof from the one or more glycerol ethers; and recycling at least a portion of the stream comprising isobutylene, unreacted TBA, or a combination thereof to the contacting. Also disclosed is a process of co-producing isooctene, wherein the process involves contacting glycerol and tertiary butanol in the presence of a dehydrating catalyst and dimerizing/oligomerizing the dehydrated products in the presence of an oligomerizing catalyst to form isooctene, a precursor of isooctane and isomers thereof.

Olefin oligomerization via new and efficient Br?nsted acidic ionic liquid catalyst systems

Olefin oligomerization reaction catalyzed by new catalyst systems (a Br?nsted-acidic ionic liquid as the main catalyst and tricaprylylmethylammonium chloride as the co-catalyst) has been investigated. The synthesized Br?nsted acidic ionic liquids were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV), 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and 13C NMR to analyze their structures and acidities. The influence of different ionic liquids, ionic liquid loading, different co-catalysts, catalyst ratios (mole ratio of ionic liquid to co-catalyst), reaction time, pressure, temperature, solvent, source of reactants, and the recycling of catalyst systems was studied. Among the synthesized ionic liquids, 1-(4-sulfonic acid)butyl-3-hexylimidazolium hydrogen sulfate ([HIMBs]HSO4) exhibited the best catalytic activity under the tested reaction conditions. The conversion of isobutene and selectivity of trimers were 83.21% and 35.80%, respectively, at the optimum reaction conditions. Furthermore, the catalyst system can be easily separated and reused; a feasible reaction mechanism is proposed on the basis of the distribution of experimental products.
