Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 14
Claim 1
Independent Claim
101 words
A process for increasing the hydrogenation rate of polymerized normal alpha-olefins or mixtures thereof having from about 6 to 12 carbon atoms per olefin comprising hydrogenating said polymerized alpha-olefins under catalytic hydrogenation conditions of from about 150°-400° C and from about 300-500 psig in the presence of added alumina, and a suitable hydrogenation catalyst in a weight ratio of catalyst to alumina of from about 0.05-2 to 1 and wherein the hydrogenation catalyst is selected from the group consisting of metals from Groups VIII and IB of the periodic Table, salts thereof and mixtures of said metals and or said salts.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
101 words
A process for increasing the hydrogenation rate of polymerized normal alpha-olefins or mixtures thereof having from about 6 to 12 carbon atoms per olefin comprising hydrogenating said polymerized alpha-olefins under catalytic hydrogenation conditions of from about 150°-400° C and from about 300-500 psig in the presence of added alumina, and a suitable hydrogenation catalyst in a weight ratio of catalyst to alumina of from about 0.05-2 to 1 and wherein the hydrogenation catalyst is selected from the group consisting of metals from Groups VIII and IB of the periodic Table, salts thereof and mixtures of said metals and or said salts.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
23 words
The process of claim 1 wherein said alpha-olefin is a mixture of monoolefins having a mean chain length of about 10 carbon atoms.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
