Abstract
A three-component catalyst is prepared comprising a particulate silica adsorbent with boron trifluoride and water adsorbed on the silica. The silica-water-boron trifluoride catalyst is used in hydrocarbon conversion reactions such as the oligomerization of 1-decene to a product predominating in the trimer and tetramer.
Claims7
A three-component hydrocarbon conversion catalyst comprising particulate silica having boron trifluoride and water adsorbed thereon, said catalyst obtainable by the adsorption on said particulate silica of water and boron trifluoride from a liquid hydrocarbon in the presence of an atmosphere comprising boron trifluoride.
