Abstract: The invention relates to polyalkene alcohol polyetheramines of formula R1—(CH2)n—O—A)m—NR2R3, wherein R1 represents a polyalkene radical derived from C2- to C30-alkenes with a number average molecular weight of 300 to 5000, R2 and R3 each mean, independently of each other, hydrogen or organic radicals with a total of 400 carbon atoms. A denotes alkylene groups with 2 to 8 C atoms, m is a number from 1 to 200 and n denotes the number 0 or 1. The inventive polyalkene alcohol polyetheramines are suitable for use as carrier oils, detergents and dispersing agents in fuel and lubricant compositions.

Abstract: Solid or pasty fuel additive compositions comprise a homogeneous mixture of a solid compacting agent soluble in fuel and at least one liquid fuel additive, the compositions having an additive content of from more than about 40 to 99% by weight, based on their total weight.

Abstract: Polyalkeneamines of the formula (I) ##STR1## where R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3, R.sub.4, R.sub.5 and R.sub.6 may have different meanings, are prepared by a process in which a polyalkene epoxide is reacted with an amine and the amino alcohol is dehydrated and reduced to give the compound of the formula (I).

Abstract: The present invention relates to at least simply unsaturated polyolefins with a number mean molecular weight in the range of 400 to 1,500 dalton and a dispersibility of M.sub.W /M.sub.N <1.2, obtained through catalytic dimerization from at least simply unsaturated olefin-oligomers, as well as to the method for their production. The present invention further relates to derivatives of these polyolefins which can be obtained by functionalizing at least a double link of the polyolefin. The invention also relates to the use of polyolefins and/or functionalization products as additives for fuels or lubricants.

Abstract: Fuel or lubricant additives based on reaction products of an ethylenically unsaturated poly-1-alkene derived from one or more 1-alkenes of 3 to 24 carbon atoms and from 0 to 50% by weight of ethene, processes for their preparation and fuel or lubricant compositions containing these additives are described.

Abstract: Supported catalysts, obtainable bya) dissolving a catalytically active component or its intermediate in a solvent,b) adding an organic polymer which is capable of binding at least ten times its own weight of water to the solution thus obtained,c) then mixing the polymer with a catalyst carrier,d) molding the material thus obtained, drying and calcining, a process for their preparation and their use.

Abstract: A process for the selective hydrogenation of butadiene to butenes in the liquid phase or trickle phase in contact with a fixed-bed supported noble metal catalyst, wherein a high-butadiene C.sub.4 stream having a butadiene content of from 20 to 80% w/w, based on the weight of the C.sub.4 stream, is hydrogenated in a cascade of two reaction zones such that the hydrogenation product from the first reaction zone has a butadiene content of from 0.1 to 20% w/w and the hydrogenation product from the second reaction zone has a butadiene content of from 0.005 to 1% w/w, based in both cases on the weight of the C.sub.4 stream, provided that the butadiene content of the hydrogenation product from the second reaction zone is at least 5 times smaller than that of the hydrogenation product from the first reaction zone.
