An ethane or other hydrocarbon feedstock is steam cracked to produce an ethylene stream which is processed in an ethylene plant recovery section to separate an ethane recycle and a polymer grade or chemical grade ethylene product stream. A portion of the ethylene product stream may then be reacted by dimerization to produce a butene stream. These formed butenes and/or butenes recovered from other sources and another portion of the ethylene product stream are reacted by metathesis to produce a propylene stream which is deethanized and separated from heavier hydrocarbons to produce the propylene product. The butene product stream may also be deethanized and is separated from heavier hydrocarbons. The overhead from the metathesis section deethanizer may be recycled to the ethylene plant recovery section. The reflux for the metathesis section deethanizer may be generated from the overhead or may be a portion of the ethylene product stream.

With the present invention, propylene having biomass-derived carbon and reduced-environmental burden can be efficiently produced without lowering the catalysis activity.

A process for the production of high octane number gasoline from light refinery olefins, typically from the catalytic cracking unit, and benzene-containing aromatic streams such as reformate. A portion of the light olefins including ethylene and propylene is polymerized to form a gasoline boiling range product and another portion is used to alkylate the light aromatic stream.

An isomerization reactor may be used to obtain the desired molar ratio of 1-butene:2-butene for the feed composition into the metathesis reactor.

Linear 1-butene dimers and other linear alpha-olefin dimers are manufactured in high yield and with high selectivity by coupling of alpha-olefins. The coupling is accomplished by contacting alpha olefins with an iron-based catalyst activated with an aluminum-based co-catalyst. The catalyst is structured to preclude formation of multiple dimer products, and the byproducts of the olefin coupling consist almost exclusively of methyl branched olefin dimers. The dimers have potentially diverse use in areas stretching form pharmaceuticals to plastics. Linear 1-butene dimers may be particularly useful in the production of plasticizer alcohols which may in turn be used to manufacture high quality plastics with reduced leaching.
