A PROCESS FOR CONVERTING OLEFINS TO
DISTILLATE AND/OR Lute OIL PRODUCTS

This invention relates to a process for converting olefins to distillate and/or lube oil products.
US. Patent No. 4,150,062 describes a process for the conversion of olefins having 2 to 4 carbon atoms to a product comprising a high octane gasoline component by contacting an appropriate olefin feed stock with a catalyst comprising a crystalline aluminosilicate zealot in the presence ox a relatively large amount of I water.
US. Patent No. 4,211,640 describes a catalytic process for the treatment of highly olefinic gasoline with an acidic crystalline aluminosilicate zealot to enhance the gum stability of said gasoline and produce products comprising w to gasoline and fuel oil.
The present invention it predicated on the discovery that when low molecular weight aromatic compounds are added to an olefin-to--gasoline distillate (Ovid) reaction product stream, the olefinic components in the stream will alkylate the aromatics to form both lube and diesel range materials. Lute oil produced thereby is in ir~reased yield and viscosity index.
Accordingly the present invention resides in a process for converting olefins to distillate and/or lube oil products, comprising contacting under conversion conditions an olefin With a crystalline aluminosilicate zealot having a silica to alumina mole retie of at least 12 and a constraint index within the range of 1 to 12 in a reaction zone in the presence of a reactive aromatic hydrocarbon; set Olin and said reactive aromatic hydrocarbon being present in the molar ratio of lû:l to 1:1.
The olefins used in the present process may be any of those I employed in conventional OLD technology and include moo- and dolphins of 2 to 10 carbon atoms, such as ethene and propane;
cycloole~ins of to 10 car w n atoms, such as cyclobutene and cyclopentene; and olefins alkylated to aromatic rings with less than 10 Jo Sue carbon atoms. Preferred olefins have 2 to 7 croon atoms. In addition, reactive olefinic products of OLD reactions can be used as the feed stream in the present process. In other words, the aromatic compounds may be added directly to the reaction zone with the unrequited olefin or it may be added to the reaction zone after the olefin-to-gasoline distillate reaction has had an opportunity-to provide some long-chain oiliness. In any event, a product of increased lube yield and, higher viscosity index will be provided. because of the high value of lube oil relative to lighter distillate, there is incentive to I maximize lube product.
The aromatic hydrocarbons used in the present process may contain one or two aromatic rings, including aromatic rings alkylated with one or more saturated or unsaturated groups, and including aromatic rings connected to saturated rings such as tetralin, methyltetralin and ethyltetralin. In addition to a pure aromatic feed, it is possible to employ a refinery stream rich in aromatics such as a reformat cut. It a stream rich in both olefins and aromatics, such as an FCC gasoline, is used the oleFins will also take part in the olefin-to-gasoline~distillate reaction.
The catalyst used in the present process is a crystalline aluminosilicate zealot havincJ a silica to alumina mole ratio Clue at least 12 and a constraint index of 1 to 12. Examples of such a zealot are ZSM-5, ZSM-ll, ZSM-12, Z5~-35 and ZS~-38. Zealot ZSM-5 is described in US. Patent No. 3,702,886; ZSM-ll is described In US.
Patent No. 3,709,979; ZSM-12 is described in US. Patent No. 3,B38,44g;
ZSM-35 is described in US. Patent No. 4,016,245; and ZS~-38 is described in US. Patent No. 4,046,859.
It should also be noted that natural zealots may sometimes be converted to this type zealot catalyst by various activation I procedures and other treatments such as base exchange, steaming, alumina extraction and calcination or some combination thereon.
Natural minerals which may be so treated include ferrierite, brewsterite, stilbite, dachiardite, epistilbite, heulandite and clinoptilolite.

~L~2~5~j~

The preferred crystal aluminosilicate zealots are ZSM-5 and ZSM-12.
Conveniently, the zealot catalyst is employed in combination with a support or a binder, such as for example, a porous inorganic S oxide support or a clay binder. Examples of such binder materials include alumina, zircon, silica, magnesia, Thor, titanic, bone and combinations thereof, generally in the form of dried inorganic oxide gels and gelatinous precipitates. Suitable clay materials include, by way of example, bentonite and kieselguhr. The amount of alumina-I silicate zealot to the total composition of catalyst and binder or support may vary between owe to go by weight, and more usually in the range of owe to owe by weight of the composition.
The operating conditions employed in the present process, particularly the temperature, pressure, space velocity, molar ratio a aromatic to olefin reactants, absence of added hydrogen, and the preserve of any delineates are chosen so to promote reaction between the aromatics and the OG/0 product distillate to produce long-chain all aromatics and thereby increase lube oil yield and viscosity index.
Suitable operating conditions include a temperature from 204 to 427C
(400 to 800F), a pressure from 791 to 17339 spa (100 to 2500 prig), and a LhSV from 0.2 to 20 per hour. Preferred conditions include a temperature from 2~2 to 316C (450 to 600F~, a pressure from 4238 to 6990 spa (600 to 1000 prig), and a L~SV from 0.5 to 2 and most preferably from 1 to 1.5. The molar ratio of olefins to reactive aromatic hydrocarbon may vary from 10:1 to 1:1. Preferred, as reactive hydrocarbons, are aromatic hydrocar w no and alkyl-substituted cyclic hydrocarbons, or alkyd aromatic cyclic hydrocarbons. Also, it desired, any suitable delineate known in the art may be used.
The advantageous results obtainable with the process of tune I present invention are illustrated by Tale 1 which shows the effect on viscosity index of' Audrey alkyd chains to Roth Cyril and dicyclic aromatics. As Jill be seen prom the Tale, the highest viscosity indices are achieved by adding loft straight allele chains, but some viscosity index improvement it ODtaine~ with highly substituted compounds.
