Abstract
A process is provided to produce a 2-alkene product from a 1-alkene-containing feed stream. The process comprises contacting the 1-alkene-containing feed stream in a reactor zone to isomerize the 1-alkene-containing feed stream to produce the 2-alkene product. More specifically, a process is provided to produce a 2-butene product from a 1-butene containing feed stream.
Claims23
A process to produce an 2-alkene product from a 1-alkene-containing feed stream, said process comprising contacting said 1-alkene-containing feed stream with an acidized clay catalyst in a reactor zone to isomerize said 1-alkene-containing feed stream to produce said 2-alkene product.
A process to produce a 2-butene product from a 1-butene containing feed stream, said process comprising contacting a 1-butene containing feed stream with an acidized clay catalyst in a reactor zone to isomerize 1-butene to produce a 2-butene product.
A process to produce a 2-butene product from a 1-butene containing feed stream comprising contacting a 1-butene containing feed stream with an acidized clay catalyst in a reactor zone to isomerize 1-butene to produce a 2-butene product;
- wherein said reactor zone comprises a flow reactor;
- wherein said 1-butene containing feed is dried utilizing a molecular sieve bed;
- and
- wherein said flow reactor is operated at a temperature between 50° C. to 150° C.
A process to produce a 2-butene product from 1-butene containing feed stream comprising contacting a 1-butene containing feed with an acidized clay catalyst in a reactor zone to isomerize 1-butene to produce said 2-butene product;
- wherein said reactor zone comprises a batch reactor;
- wherein said 1-butene containing feed is dried utilizing a molecular sieve bed;
- and
- wherein said batch reactor is operated at a temperature between 105° C. to 145° C.
