  • Process for the removal of conjugated olefins from a monoolefin stream
    Publication number: 20040260137
    Abstract: A method for removing conjugated olefins from a composition comprising contacting the composition with a Diels-Alder dienophile to convert conjugated olefins to a Diels-Alder adduct and arresting the Diels-Alder adduct. A method comprising confining a Diels-Alder dienophile to a first side of a selectively permeable barrier wherein the barrier is more permeable to conjugated olefins and less permeable to Diels-Alder dienophile and Diels-Alder adduct, and contacting a composition comprising mono-olefins and conjugated olefins with the Diels-Alder dienophile to form Diels-Alder adduct, wherein the contacting reduces the concentration of conjugated olefins in the composition. A method for removing conjugated olefins from a composition comprising bubbling the composition through a liquid comprising Diels-Alder dienophile to form a liquid comprising Diels-Alder adduct.

  • Process for the removal of conjugated olefins from a monoolefin stream
    Patent number: 6720468
    Abstract: A process for the separation of conjugated olefins from monoolefins in a fluid comprising such conjugated olefins and monoolefins using a Diels-Alder reaction to provide a fluid comprising a Diels-Alder adduct and monoolefins. The fluid comprising such Diels-Alder adduct and monoolefins can be subjected to a separating means to thereby recover a resulting monoolefin-containing fluid containing less than about 50 parts per million conjugated olefins. The process is particularly useful for purification of fluids containing normal alpha olefins.
