Conversion of propylene and butylene over ZSM‐5 catalyst

Abstract

Abstract Using the zeolite ZSM‐5, new technology has been developed for catalytically oligomerizing light olefins (C 3 to C 4 ) to gasoline (C 5 to C 10 ) and diesel (C 10 to C 20 ) range product. This reaction produces product constrained by both the shape selectivity of the zeolite catalyst and the thermodynamics governing the oligomerization reaction.
