Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim 68 words
An alkene oligomerization process comprising: (a) contacting a C 2 to C 6 alkene with an essentially alumina-free molecular sieve selected from the group consisting of silicalite, RE 29,948 organosilicate, or CZM at a temperature of less than 350° C. and a pressure greater than about 40 bar; and (b) recovering an effluent comprising substantial amounts of olefin multimers containing from 2 to 5 units of said alkene.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 68 words
An alkene oligomerization process comprising: (a) contacting a C 2 to C 6 alkene with an essentially alumina-free molecular sieve selected from the group consisting of silicalite, RE 29,948 organosilicate, or CZM at a temperature of less than 350° C. and a pressure greater than about 40 bar; and (b) recovering an effluent comprising substantial amounts of olefin multimers containing from 2 to 5 units of said alkene.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 18 words
The process of claim 1 wherein at least some of said multimers are liquids under said oligomerization conditions.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 17 words
The process of claim 1 wherein said oligomerization conditions include a pressure greater than about 65 bar.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 29 words
The process of claim 1, further comprising the steps of: separating unreacted alkenes present in said effluent from said alkene multimers; and recycling said unreacted alkenes into said feed.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 24 words
The process of claim 1, further comprising the step of: alkylating an aromatic compound with at least part of said multimers under alkylation conditions.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 11 words
The process of claim 5 wherein said aromatic compound is benzene.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 23 words
The process of claim 1, wherein said catalyst further comprises zinc or a compound thereoff, cadmium or a compound thereoff, or mixtures thereoff.
