A method of modifying the activity of a solid acid catalyst by contact with a carboxylic acid is presented. The modified catalyst is exposed to a feed mixture including olefins in a reaction zone, and an effluent including an isomerized olefin product is withdrawn from the reaction zone. The isomerized olefin product includes a more random distribution of internal olefins than the olefins of the feed mixture. The feed mixture and the isomerized olefin product include linear olefins. The isomerization results in no more than about 10 weight percent additional branched, compared to the olefins of the feed mixture, among the olefins of the isomerized olefin product. The isomerized olefin product includes no more than about 20 weight percent dimer. The olefin monomers of the feed mixture and the isomerized olefin product include from about 4 to about 30 carbon atoms. The effluent includes no more than about 20 weight percent ester. The solid acid catalyst may be an acidic ion exchange resin. The feed mixture may include olefins, esters, and carboxylic acid.
提出了一种通过与
羧酸接触来改变固体酸催化剂活性的方法。修改后的催化剂暴露于包括烯烃的进料混合物中的反应区域中,从反应区域中撤出包括异构烯烃产物的流出物。异构烯烃产物比进料混合物中的烯烃具有更随机的内部烯烃分布。进料混合物和异构烯烃产物包括线性烯烃。异构化导致异构烯烃产物中的烯烃中的支链不超过进料混合物中的烯烃的大约10重量百分比。异构烯烃产物中不含有超过大约20重量百分比的二聚体。进料混合物和异构烯烃产物中的烯烃单体包括大约4到30个碳原子。流出物中不含有超过大约20重量百分比的酯。固体酸催化剂可以是酸性离子交换
树脂。进料混合物可以包括烯烃,酯和
羧酸。
