  • Production of branched hydrocarbons
    Patent number: 4317948
    Abstract: A mixed olefin feedstock obtained from disproportionating C.sub.8 to C.sub.18 1-olefins can be used as such for a dimerization process to produce branched hydrocarbons that are useful as lubricating oils or greases.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 21, 1980
    Date of Patent: March 2, 1982
    Assignee: Phillips Petroleum Company
    Inventor: Louis F. Heckelsberg
  • Alkaline earth oxides promoted with manganese oxide and/or rhenium oxide as catalysts for cracking and dehydrocyclizing of alkanes
    Patent number: 4159970
    Abstract: Alkanes are catalytically converted employing a catalyst comprising at least one alkaline earth oxide together with a promoting amount of manganese oxides and/or rhenium oxide. When the catalyst is treated with an oxygen-containing gas, such as air, prior to contacting the alkanes conversion by cracking is favored. When the catalyst is treated with hydrogen prior to contacting the alkanes dehydrocyclization is favored. A composition of matter is disclosed suitable for use as a catalyst for converting alkanes.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 3, 1978
    Date of Patent: July 3, 1979
    Assignee: Phillips Petroleum Company
    Inventor: Louis F. Heckelsberg
