HOMOGENEOUS METALLOCENE ZIEGLER-NATTA CATALYSTS FOR THE OLIGOMERIZATION OF OLEFINS IN ALIPHATIC-HYDROCARBON SOLVENTS

摘要

A process is disclosed that permits continuous batch conversion of alpha-olefins and internal-olefins to oligomeric materials without fouling the reaction vessel and provides a simple and highly efficient method for making very cost effective catalyst systems based on Zeigler-Natta Group 4 metallocenes. Embodiments of this invention produce diesel and turbine fuels that are 100% synthetic iso-paraffinic kerosenes with flashpoints greater than 61 °C.
