Zeolite catalysis process for conversion of diene-containing olefins to aromatic hydrocarbons

Patent ·
OSTI ID:7006300

A process for converting lower olefinic hydrocarbon feedstock to aromatics-rich product by contacting the feedstock with acidic siliceous zeolite conversion catalyst particles at elevated temperature between about 200 degrees C. to 650 degrees C. under aromatization conditions to produce heavier hydrocarbons including aromatic hydrocarbons is described comprising: introducing lower olefinic feedstock comprising at least one C/sub 4/-C/sub 6/ diene component into a bed of catalyst particles to convert feedstock to heavier hydrocarbon rich in aromatics; separating an aromatics-rich C/sub 5/+ liquid stream from fluidized bed reaction effluent; extracting aromatics components from the liquid stream and recovering a product stream comprising at least 50 wt% C/sub 6/-C/sub 10/ aromatic hydrocarbons.
