Abstract

In recent decades, the application of more zeolite-type catalysts has been studied in oligomerization reaction. In the oligomerization process various boiling-range isoolefins can be produced which can be hydrogenated to isoparaffins. The oligomerization of olefins in the light FCC gasoline-matrix in the presence of zeolites has not yet been reported. Therefore, our objective was to select a catalytic system that is suitable for producing isoolefin mixtures from the referred feedstock. The activity of the studied catalytic systems was similar, but with the use of the two layered bed the share of oligomers in middle distillate boiling point range was doubled. In the favourable reaction conditions (two layered bed, T: 270 °C, P: 40 bar, LHSV: 1.0 h-1) such isoolefin mixtures can be produced from which after hydrogenation excellent, environmentally friendly gasoline, JET, and diesel gas oil blending components can be obtained.
