A process for dehydration of ethanol to produce ethylene is provided. Ethanol is dehydrated to produce ethylene and the subsequent conversion of ethylene to longer chain olefins and then their hydrogenation to produce long chain paraffins. In some embodiments, a split feed is employed to improve efficiency and a caustic wash column is eliminated. The advantages of the process include a lower requirement for steam and a reduction in the combined reactor volume of 30-40% when two reactors are used as compared to a single reactor.

Ethanol to ethylene process

An integrated apparatus for hydrogenating olefins wherein the hydrogen stream is generated from the electrolysis of water is described. Water is derived from a first reaction step wherein a first feed stream comprising oxygenated hydrocarbons is reacted to produce a first reacted product stream comprising olefins and a second reacted product stream comprising water. The second reacted product stream is electrolyzed to produce an electrolyzer product stream comprising hydrogen. Hydrogen is used to hydrogenate olefins. A paraffin stream can be obtained from the hydrogenated effluent.

A modified UZM-14 zeolite is described. The modified UZM-14 zeolite has a Modification Factor of 6 or more. The modified UZM-14 zeolite may have one or more of: a Si/Alratio of 14 to 30; a total pore volume in a range of 0.5 to 1.0 cc/g; at least 5% of a total pore volume being mesopores having a diameter of 10 nm of less; a cumulative pore volume of micropores and mesopores having a diameter of 100 &#x212b; or less of 0.25 cc/g or more; or a Collidine IR Bronsted acid site distribution greater than or equal to an area of 3/mg for a peak in a range of 1575 to 1700 cmafter desorption at 150&#xb0; C. Processes of making the modified UZM-14 zeolite and transalkylation processes using the modified UZM-14 zeolite are also described.
