Wax compositions may be obtained by providing an olefinic feed comprising a first linear alpha olefin having m carbon atoms and a second linear alpha olefin having n carbon atoms, wherein m and n are independently selected integers each ranging from about 12 to about 100, and the olefinic feed optionally comprises one or more internal olefins and/or one or more branched olefins; contacting the olefinic feed with a metal carbene catalyst in a reactor; forming ethylene and a hydrocarbon substance comprising a linear olefin dimer comprising two carbon atoms less than a sum of m and n; removing the ethylene from the reactor while forming the linear olefin dimer; and isolating a wax composition comprising the linear olefin dimer, a hydrogenated reaction product thereof, or any combination thereof.
可以通过提供一种含有第一种具有m个碳原子的线性α烯烃和第二种具有n个碳原子的线性α烯烃的烯烃进料来获得蜡组分,其中m和n是独立选择的整数,每个整数范围约为12到100,且烯烃进料可以包括一个或多个内部烯烃和/或一个或多个支链烯烃;在反应器中用
金属卡宾催化剂接触烯烃进料;形成
乙烯和包含比m和n的和少两个碳原子的线性烯烃二聚体的烃物质;从反应器中除去
乙烯,同时形成线性烯烃二聚体;并分离出包含线性烯烃二聚体、其氢化反应产物或任何组合的蜡组分。
