Abstract
Abstract Olefins are converted into other olefins having different numbers of carbon atoms by contact with a catalyst comprising an inorganic refractory oxide support containing at least one of tungsten oxide and molybdenum oxide and a promoting amount of at least one methylating agent under conditions suitable for the methylating agent compounds to promote the activity of tungsten and molybdenum oxides for the disproportionation reaction.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
75 words
A process for disproportionating olefins comprising contacting at least one feed olefin having at least 3 carbon atoms per molecule under suitable reaction conditions which convert the feed olefin into other olefins having different numbers of carbon atoms with a catalytically effective amount of a catalyst composition comprising an inorganic refractory oxide and at least one metal oxide selected from molybdenum oxide and tungsten oxide promoted with an effective promoting amount of a methylating agent.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
75 words
A process for disproportionating olefins comprising contacting at least one feed olefin having at least 3 carbon atoms per molecule under suitable reaction conditions which convert the feed olefin into other olefins having different numbers of carbon atoms with a catalytically effective amount of a catalyst composition comprising an inorganic refractory oxide and at least one metal oxide selected from molybdenum oxide and tungsten oxide promoted with an effective promoting amount of a methylating agent.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
19 words
A process according to claim 1 wherein said inorganic refractory oxide is selected from silica, alumina, and mixtures thereof.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
45 words
A process according to claim 2 wherein said catalytic amount of said metal oxide is in the range of about 1 to about 20 percent of the combined weights of said metal oxide and said refractory oxide prior to the addition of the methylating agent.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
26 words
A process according to claim 3 wherein the disproportionation is carried out at a temperature in the range of about 20° C. to about 600° C.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
44 words
A process according to claim 4 wherein the methylating agent is employed in an amount in the range of about 0.1 to about 20 weight percent based on the weight of the metal oxide-refractory oxide combination prior to the addition of the methylating agent.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
21 words
A process according to claim 5 wherein said metal oxide is WO 3 and said refractory oxide is SiO 2 .
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
13 words
A process according to claim 6 wherein said methylating agent is dimethyl sulfate.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
12 words
A process according to claim 1 wherein said feed olefin comprises propylene.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
13 words
A process according to claim 1 wherein the olefin feed additionally contains ethylene.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
12 words
A process according to claim 7 wherein said feed olefin comprises propylene.
