Abstract
An approach that permits continuous batch conversion of alpha-olefins and internal-olefins to oligomeric materials without fouling the reaction vessel and provides a simple and highly efficient method for making very cost effective catalyst systems based on Zeigler-Natta Group 4 metallocenes. Embodiments of this invention produce diesel and turbine fuels that are 100% synthetic iso-paraffinic kerosenes with flashpoints greater than 61 deg C.
Claims11
A fuel produced from oligomerization and/or dimerization processes, comprising:
- at least one alpha-olefin and/or internal olefins;
- at least one homogenous Ziegler-Natta catalyst;
- at least one homogenous activating co-catalyst;
- and
- at least one or mixture hydrocarbon solvent, wherein said fuel having a flashpoint of 61 to 100° C.
