Are long-chain a-olefins (C10 and above) produced domestically?
Thread Content
As the title suggests, is it possible to produce long-chain alpha-olefins (with C10 or more) domestically in China? Is its production process mainly achieved through ethylene oligomerization or Fischer-Tropsch synthesis? Are there any other processes as well? I am extremely grateful, thank you!
In China, the highest level of ethylene oligomerization that can be achieved at present is C6; it’s difficult to go any higher than that. Some of it should be separable through Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, but the purity may not be high
