Hydrocarbons diolefin

CH = CH — CH = CH — are said to have conjugated double bonds and react somewhat differently from the other diolefins. For instance, bromine or hydrogen is often added so that a product of the type -CHBr-CH=CH-CHBr- is formed. Also, these hydrocarbons participate in the Diels-Alder reaction see diene reactions). They show a tendency to form rubber-like polymers. Hydrocarbons not falling into these two classes are said to have isolated double...

The feedstocks used ia the production of petroleum resias are obtaiaed mainly from the low pressure vapor-phase cracking (steam cracking) and subsequent fractionation of petroleum distillates ranging from light naphthas to gas oil fractions, which typically boil ia the 20—450°C range (16). Obtaiaed from this process are feedstreams composed of atiphatic, aromatic, and cycloatiphatic olefins and diolefins, which are subsequently polymerized to yield resias of various compositioas and physical properties. Typically, feedstocks are divided iato atiphatic, cycloatiphatic, and aromatic streams. Table 2 illustrates the predominant olefinic hydrocarbons obtained from steam cracking processes for petroleum resia synthesis (18).

The conversion of aromatic monomers relative to C-5—C-6 linear diolefins and olefins in cationic polymerizations may not be proportional to the feedblend composition, resulting in higher resin aromaticity as determined by nmr and ir measurements (43). This can be attributed to the differing reactivity ratios of aromatic and aHphatic monomers under specific Lewis acid catalysis. Intentional blocking of hydrocarbon resins into aromatic and aHphatic regions may be accomplished by sequential cationic polymerization employing multiple reactors and standard polymerization conditions (45). 

Hydrocarbon Resins. Dicyclopentadiene is widely used in both cmde and purified form as a monomer in hydrocarbon resin production (see Hydrocarbon resins). These resins, produced in both the United States and Europe, are polymerized from concentrated DCPD streams or from the previously mentioned resin oils. The DCPD-containing stream may be polymerized with Friedel-Crafts (qv) (53) catalysts either alone or in admixture with the resin oil (54—55), or with aUphatic olefins and diolefins (56) or by thermal polymerization (57—59). 

Polymerization of raw feedstock. Aliphatic hydrocarbon resins. Raw feedstock contains straight-chain and cyclic molecules and mono- and diolefins. The most common initiator in the polymerization reaction is AICI3/HCI in xylene. The resinification consists of a two-stage polymerization in a reactor at 45°C and high pressure (10 MPa) for several hours. The resulting solution is treated with water and passed to distillation to obtain the aliphatic hydrocarbon resins. Several aliphatic hydrocarbon resins with different softening points can be adjusted. 

Alkadienes, alkatrienes, and alkatetraenes (poly-enes). These are unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbons containing two, three, or four C = C double bonds, respectively. Alkadienes are also called diolefins or dienes, and alkatrienes are also known as triolefins or tricncs. Alkenes containing multiple double bonds fall under the general class of poly-enes. Double bonds that alternate with single bonds in a straight chain are said to be conjugated. Examples are... 

Paraffins are relatively inactive compared to olefins, diolefins, and aromatics. Few chemicals could be obtained from the direct reaction of paraffins with other reagents. However, these compounds are the precursors for olefins through cracking processes. The C -Cg paraffins and cycloparaffms are especially important for the production of aromatics through reforming. This section reviews some of the physical and chemical properties of C1-C4 paraffins. Long-chain paraffins normally present as mixtures with other hydrocarbon types in different petroleum fractions are discussed later in this chapter. 

The most important olefins and diolefins used to manufacture petrochemicals are ethylene, propylene, butylenes, and hutadiene. Butadiene, a conjugated diolefin, is normally coproduced with C2-C4 olefins from different cracking processes. Separation of these olefins from catalytic and thermal cracking gas streams could he achieved using physical and chemical separation methods. However, the petrochemical demand for olefins is much greater than the amounts these operations produce. Most olefins and hutadienes are produced hy steam cracking hydrocarbons. 

Diolefms are hydrocarbon compounds that have two double bonds. Conjugated diolefins have two double bonds separated by one single bond. Due to conjugation, these compounds are more stable than mono-olefms and diolefms with isolated double bonds. Conjugated diolefins also have different reactivities than monoolefins. The most important industrial diolefmic hydrocarbons are butadiene and isoprene. 

Reduction of the catalyst/hydrocarbon time in the riser, coupled with the elimination of post-riser cracking, reduces the saturation of the already produced olefins and allows the refiner to increase the reaction severity. The actions enhance the olefin yields and still operate within the wet gas compressor constraints. Elimination of post-riser residence time (direct connection of the reactor cyclones to the riser) or reducing the temperature in the dilute phase virtually eliminates undesired thermal and nonselective cracking. This reduces dry gas and diolefin yields.

Pines and Csicsery reported on the formation of diolefins in chromia catalyzed dehydrocyclization of Cj-Cg hydrocarbons 49). The kinetic behavior of heptadienes and heptatrienes in chromia and molybdena catalyzed aromatization of unsaturated n-Cj hydrocarbons 22, 49a) indicated that they were intermediates of the reaction.
