Process for alkylating waxy hydrocarbons with C/sub 3/-C/sub 5/ carbon atom secondary alcohols as catalyst
Patent
·
OSTI ID:5328423
Waxy, normally solid hydrocarbons are alkylated to form liquid hydrocarbons boiling in the lube oil range by contacting the wax and a low molecular weight olefin, such as ethylene, with a catalyst comprising a C/sub 3/-C/sub 5/ carbon atom secondary alcohol at elevated temperature and pressure. This process is useful for making relatively high viscority index(VI) lube oils from wax, for decreasing the pour point of jet fuels and for dewaxing lube oil feedstocks.
