Abstract
In this study, the dimerization of 1-hexene and 1-octene (as model compounds for Fischer-Tropsch naphtha-range olefins) into diesel-range olefins was carried out in a tubular, continuous flow fixed-bed reactor, in the liquid phase, over zeolite H-ZSM-5 and an amorphous silica-alumina (ASA) catalyst. Both catalysts were in the form of extrudates.
