Abstract:
A process for contacting a linear polyaromatic compound with a feedstock composition comprising linear alpha olefins, internal olefins, and saturated hydrocarbons, separating the olefins from the saturated hydrocarbons in the feedstock composition to form an olefin composition and a saturated hydrocarbon stream, subsequently contacting a linear polyaromatic compound saturated hydrocarbon stream comprising linear alpha olefins and internal olefins, and separating the internal olefins and linear alpha olefins from the saturated hydrocarbons in the saturated hydrocarbon stream to form a second saturated hydrocarbon stream and a second olefin composition, whereby the concentration of each of internal olefins and linear alpha olefins in the second olefin composition is enriched over the concentration of each of internal olefins and linear alpha olefins in the feedstock and in the olefin composition.
