dc.description.abstractLinear alpha-olefins, including 1-hexene, are used mainly as co-monomers in the production of polymers. The very low tolerance of the polymerisation catalyst to highly unsaturated impurities makes removal of these impurities from the olefin feedstock crucial. In South Africa, linear alpha-olefins are a major product of Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. A complex extractive distillation process is used to separate impurities from the product stream. A final polishing step by adsorption results in a significant loss of valuable alpha-olefin.en_ZA
