Processes and systems for producing olefin epoxides with three or more carbon atoms by oxidation of the corresponding branched hydrocarbons using oxygen are disclosed. An example process for producing olefin epoxides may include oxidizing a branched alkane to produce at least an organic hydroperoxide. The example process may further include epoxidizing a branched alkene by a catalytic reaction with least a portion of the organic hydroperoxide to produce at least an olefin epoxide and an alcohol. The example process may further include converting at least a portion of the alcohol to either additional branched alkane and/or additional branched alkene.

Process and system to make olefin epoxides

The present disclosure provides an active material comprising a mixed metal oxide in a hydrotalcite derived rocksalt structure, a processes to convert paraffins to corresponding olefins and or heavier hydrocarbons using the active material, and a method of preparing the active material.

Catalyst for oxidative olefin generation from paraffins

A method may include: oxidizing iso-butane with oxygen to produce t-butyl hydroperoxide and t-butyl alcohol; dehydrating at least a portion of the t-butyl alcohol to produce di-tert-butyl ether and isobutylene; epoxidizing at least a portion of the isobutylene with the t-butyl hydroperoxide to produce isobutylene oxide and t-butyl alcohol; and carbonylating at least a portion of the isobutylene oxide with carbon monoxide to produce pivalolactone.

The present disclosure provides processes to convert paraffins to corresponding olefins and or heavier hydrocarbons. In at least one embodiment, a process includes introducing, at a temperature of from about 50&#xb0; C. to about 500&#xb0; C., a hydrocarbon feed comprising paraffins to a first metal oxide comprising one or more group 1 to group 17 metal and one or more oxygen. The process includes obtaining a product mixture comprising one or more C3-C50 cyclic olefins, one or more C2-C50 acyclic olefins, one or more C5-C200 hydrocarbons, such as one or more C5-C100 hydrocarbons, or a mixture thereof. In at least one embodiment, the product mixture is substantially free of H2 (e.g., &#x3c;500 ppm). The introducing can reduce the first metal oxide to form a second metal oxide. Processes may include introducing the second metal oxide to an oxidizing agent to form the first metal oxide.

Conversion of paraffins to olefins and heavier hydrocarbons mediated by metal oxides

A process for converting light paraffins and/or light hydrocarbons to a high octane gasoline composition is disclosed. The process involves: (1) oxidation of iso-paraffins to alkyl hydroperoxides and alcohol; (2) conversion of the alkyl hydroperoxides and alcohol to dialkyl peroxides; and (3) radical coupling of one or more iso-paraffins and/or iso-hydrocarbons using the dialkyl peroxides as radical initiators, thereby forming a gasoline composition comprising gasoline-range molecules including a C7 enriched gasoline composition having a road octane number (RON) greater than 100.

Production of high-value fuel mixtures from synthetic and biologically derived hydrocarbon molecules

The present disclosure generally relates to a process for converting a hydrocarbon feed including introducing a hydrocarbon feed comprising a Calkane to a catalyst composition in a reactor, the catalyst composition comprising a Group 6-Group 15 metal supported on a support; and irradiating the hydrocarbon feed and the catalyst composition with electromagnetic energy in the reactor at reactor conditions to produce a product comprising a Calkane, wherein the Calkane of the product is heavier than the Calkane in the hydrocarbon feed.

Processes to convert paraffins to heavier products

The application relates to processes and systems that use a furfural compound for producing five-membered carbocyclic rings that are unsaturated, such as cyclopentene and cyclopentadiene. Examples methods for conversion of furfural compounds may include converting a furfural compound to at least a five-membered, saturated carbocyclic ring, and converting the five-membered, saturated carbocyclic ring in a presence of a catalyst to at least a five-membered, unsaturated carbocyclic ring.

Production of cyclopentadiene from furfural

Provided herein are transition metal complexes that are useful in the acceptorless dehydrogenation of various substrates, including alkanes. Also provided are methods of dehydrogenating substrates to provide unsaturated products such as olefins.

Dehydrogenation of substrates by transition metal complexes

In an embodiment, a process for converting a hydrocarbon feed includes introducing a hydrocarbon feed comprising a C-Cacyclic alkane and a C-Ccyclic alkane to a catalyst composition in a reactor. The process further includes converting the hydrocarbon feed in the reactor under reactor conditions to a product mixture comprising at least one of a C-Caromatic product or a Cdistillate product.

Processes to convert naphtha to heavier products

This application relates to transfer hydrogenation between light alkanes and olefins, and, more particularly, embodiments related to an integrated olefin production system and process which can produce higher carbon number olefins from corresponding alkanes. Examples methods may include reacting at least a portion of the ethylene and the at least one alkane via transfer hydrogenation to produce at least a mixed product stream comprising generated ethane from at least a portion of the ethylene, unreacted ethylene, and an olefin corresponding to the at least one alkane.

Systems and methods are provided for processing a feed derived from a renewable source to form oligomerized compounds corresponding to waxes, ketone waxes, and/or lubricant boiling range compounds. The oligomerized compounds derived from the renewable source can have various novel properties relative to waxes and/or lubricant boiling range compounds derived from mineral sources or derived from renewable sources in a conventional manner. The oligomerized compounds can be derived from a renewable source including fatty acids and/or fatty acid derivatives, such as glycerides (including triglycerides) and fatty amides. Optionally but preferably, at least a portion of the fatty acids and/or fatty acid derivatives can include olefinic bonds.
