Abstract
Methods of producing 1-butene from a 2-butene-containing feedstock include feeding a hydrocarbon feed comprising 2-butene to a reactor, the reactor containing an isomerization catalyst and contacting the hydrocarbon feed with the isomerization catalyst in the reactor at a temperature from 150° C. to 350° C. to produce an isomerization reaction effluent comprising 1-butene. Further, the isomerization catalyst comprises a MCM-48 catalyst with WO3 incorporated into a silica framework of the MCM-48 catalyst.

A method of producing 1-butene from a 2-butene-containing feedstock, the method comprising:
- feeding a hydrocarbon feed comprising 2-butene to a reactor, the reactor containing an isomerization catalyst;
- and
- contacting the hydrocarbon feed with the isomerization catalyst in the reactor at a temperature from 150° C. to 350° C. to produce an isomerization reaction effluent comprising 1-butene,
- wherein the isomerization catalyst comprises a MCM-48 catalyst with WO3 incorporated into a silica framework of the MCM-48 catalyst, where the average pore width in accordance with BJH Adsorption of the isomerization catalyst is 6 Å to 18 Å.
