Reactive distillation of tertiary olefin etherification for the purification of C8 α-olefin from F-T synthetic products

Utilization of F-T synthetic to produce value-added C8 linear α-olefin is a promising alternative approach, however, the purification of α-olefin from F-T synthetic products is a great challenge, especially for removing 2-methyl-1-heptene (MH). This article addresses the novel method of etherification reaction to remove MH from F-T synthetic products, and develop by far the most efficiency reactive distillation (RD) method to intensified the...
