Production of mid-chain branched detergent-range olefins over shape-selective acid catalysts
Includes bibliographical references (leaves 78-83). === For the purpose of producing mid-chain mono-methyl branched olefins, a range of acid catalysts (MFI, BEA, TON and amorphous silica-alumina) were screened for the dimerization of 1-hexene, under generally mild conditions, viz. 150 - 170°C, 20 -...
