Who knows which company has the technology transfer for producing 1-octene through 1-butene dimerization?
Research Institute of Sinopec Beijing Yanshan Branch
Yeah, I’ve already gotten in touch with them, and their company is also unable to produce octene 1 through butadiene dimerization – the yield is too low. Senior, do you know of any other domestic or foreign companies that possess this technology?
Exchange ideas with these organizations. 1. Lanzhou Institute of Chemical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences
2. Sinopec Research Institute / Shijiazhuang Refinery
3. Fushun Research Institute of Petroleum and Petrochemicals, CNPC
Why do we need to study this? What’s the purpose of using octene downstream?
Octene-1 is an important copolymer monomer that can be used to produce plasticizers, as well as fine chemical products such as octenal and octenyl esters.
So, what is the economic efficiency of this process? How much money can one make?
Ethylene oligomerization can produce octene.
At present, 1-octene in China is still in the pilot-test stage, and there is no widespread industrial application yet. Currently, 1-octene is mainly produced through the oligomerization of ethylene; the main research institutions involved are the Beijing Research Institute of Chemical Industry and the Daqing Petrochemical Research Institute.
