Abstract: Process for the production of hydrocarbon blends with a high octane number by the hydrogenation of hydrocarbon blends, containing branched C8, C12 and C16 olefinic cuts, characterized by sending said blends, as such or fractionated into two streams, one substantially containing the branched C8 olefinic cut, the other substantially containing the branched C12 and C16 olefinic cuts, to a single hydrogenation zone or to two hydrogenation zones in parallel, respectively, only the stream substantially containing of saturated C8 hydrocarbons, obtained by the fractionation of the stream produced by the single hydrogenation zone or obtained by the hydrogenation zone fed by the fractionated stream substantially containing the branched C8 olefinic cut, being at least partly recycled to the single hydrogenation zone or to the hydrogenation zone fed by the fractionated stream substantially containing the branched C8 olefinic cut, and the hydrocarbon blend with a high octane number, obtained by the fractionation of the st

Abstract: A process is described for the hydrogenation of olefinic streams containing sulfurated compounds, obtained starting from hydrocarbon cuts containing isobutene (by means of selective dimerization), characterized by fractionating said streams in one or more distillation columns and hydrogenating separately the two fractions obtained. The stream at the head, with a minimum content of sulfurated compounds, is hydrogenated with conventional catalysts based on nickel or noble metals (Platinum and/or Palladium), extremely active but also very sensitive to sulfur, whereas the bottom of the column, rich in sulfurated compounds, is treated with bimetallic catalysts (for example Ni/Co and/or Ni/Mo), less active but not deactivated by sulfur.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of a silicon-based porous catalytic system for oligomerizing light olefins, the porous silicon-based catalytic system having an average pore diameter of between about 1 nm and about 5 nm and an acidity level of between about 150 ?mol/g and about 650 ?mol/g, and prepared from at least one hydrolysable silicon-based compound, or other source of silicon, and at least one non-ionic surface active agent. The invention also relates to a process for oligomerizing light olefins using the silicon-based porous catalytic system, and to certain silicon-based porous catalytic systems.
