CONVERSION OF OLEFINIC NAPHTHAS BY HYDRATION TO PRODUCE MIDDLE DISTILLATE FUEL BLENDING COMPONENTS

The invention discloses a process for the production of middle distillates by the catalytically promoted hydration of olefmic compounds having a carbon number ranging from 7 to 14 to convert the olefins to the corresponding mixed alcohols having a higher boiling point that is in the diesel range, the process being conducted in a continuous stirred tank reactor, e.g., an ebullated-bed reactor, utilizing catalysts that include soluble homogeneous acidic compounds and solid heterogeneous compounds such as resins, and amorphous or structured metal oxides containing elements selected from IUPAC Groups 4-10, 13 and 14, and having Lewis or Bronsted acid sites. 一种生产中间馏分油的方法，该方法通过催化促进碳数范围为7至14的烯烃化合物的水合反应，将烯烃转化为相应的具有柴油范围内更高沸点的混合醇，该方法在连续搅拌釜反应器，例如沸腾床反应器中进行，使用的催化剂包括可溶性均相酸性化合物和固体多相化合物如树脂，以及无定形或结构化金属氧化物，其包含选自IUPAC第4-10、13和14族的元素并具有Lewis或酸位。
