Abstract
Methods for making light hydrocarbon oligomers and the oligomer products made therefrom. One or more C2 to C12 olefins are reacted with at least one porous support material at a temperature of about 200° C. to 500° C. to provide a higher molecular weight product comprising C3 to C26 olefins. The at least one porous support material is not a traditional catalyst and contains no additional catalytic metals, activators, promoters or acid sites.

A method for making light hydrocarbon oligomers, comprising:
- reacting one or more C2 to C12 olefins with at least one porous support material at a temperature of about 200° C. to 500° C. to provide a higher molecular weight product comprising C3 to C26 olefins, wherein the at least one porous support material contains no additional catalytic metals, activators, promoters or acid sites.
A method for making light hydrocarbon oligomers, consisting of:
- reacting one or more C2 to C12 olefins with at least one porous support material at a temperature of about 200° C. to 500° C. to provide a higher molecular weight product comprising C3 to C26 olefins, wherein the at least one porous support material contains no additional catalytic metals, activators, promoters or acid sites.
A method for making a light hydrocarbon oligomer comprising:
- reacting one or more C2 to C12 olefins with at least one porous support material at a temperature of about 200° C. to 500° C. to provide a higher molecular weight product comprising C3 to C26 olefins, wherein the at least one porous support material contains no additional catalytic metals, activators, promoters or acid sites, wherein the higher molecular weight product is a mixture of olefins having odd and even carbon numbers.
