- the carrier used was ⁇ -aluminum oxide of the "D10-21" type from BASF Aktiengesellschaft (2.3 mm extrudates, BET surface area 210 m 2 / g, water absorption capacity 0.77 ml / g, loss on ignition 0.8% by weight). used.
- a solution of 5.6 kg of 96% strength sulfuric acid in water (volume corresponding to the water absorption of the carrier) was added to 28 kg of this carrier at room temperature with stirring. sprayed. After 30 minutes of stirring, the so-impregnated support was dried for 2 hours at 120 0 C and then calcined for 5 h at 550 0 C in air.
- the catalyst thus obtained contains 5.5% by weight of sulfur in oxidic form.
- FIG. 1 shows the scheme of a device in which the inventive method is carried out continuously at 30 bar. All reactors R1 to R3 are operated adiabatically and each have a length of 4 m and a diameter of 0.8 m.
- the alkene-containing feed is fed via the feed line (F) to the first oligomerization reactor (R1).
- the discharge from (R1) is fed via an intermediate cooling (ZK1) to the reactor (R2).
- the effluent from reactor (R2) is separated by distillation in the column (K1) and the oligomeric reaction product is taken off as the bottom product via line (B1).
- the top product (H) of the column (K1) is fed to the third oligomerization reactor (R3).
- the effluent from reactor (R3) is separated by distillation in the column (K2) and the oligomeric reaction product is taken off as the bottom product via line (B2).
- the top stream of the column K2 is partially returned via the line (Z) in the reactor (R3), the remaining part of the top stream is discharged via the line (P) (purge stream) from the device.
- a raffinate II stream (76.4% butenes and 23.6% butanes) as alkene-containing feed is first subjected to oligomerization in the presence of the catalyst 1 a), as described in Example 5 of WO 99/25668 is described.
- 90.2% of the butenes were converted to oligomers; the Cs selectivity was 80.4%.
- the ISO index of the C 8 fraction was 0.99.
- the top product of the distillative separation was an alkenes depleted raffinate I Il stream having a butene content of 24%.
- the raffinate I II stream obtained after separation of the oligomers is then used for further reaction in the reactor R3.
- the nickel-containing catalyst 1 b) is used in the third reaction zone R3, in the inventive example the nickel-free catalyst 1 c).
- the relevant data of the oligomerization reaction and the results obtained are shown in Table 1 below:
