Oligomerization of C2-C4 hydrocarbons in the presence of ruthenium-nickel supported catalysts

Abstract

The oligomerization of C2-C4 light hydrocarbon gasses in the presence of ruthenium and nickel supported catalysts is investigated. Determined selectivity of the catalysts by isooctane. Catalytic properties of the catalysts depend on the supported metals on the carrier. The nature of carrier also affects on reaction selectivity. The ruthenium-nickel supported bimetallic pillared montmorillonite is showed good selectivity to isooctane and value is about 60.8% at conversion 87.0%.
