Includes bibliographical references (leaves [96]-100). There is an increasing interest in finding ways to produce on-purpose propene, due to the significant predicted propene growth in the next few years without the concomitant growth in the ethene demand, One of the technologies available is 1-butene metathesis, which describes a one-step process where isomerisation of 1-butene to 2-butene followed by cross-metathesis taking place. Products of the cross metathesis are propene and 2-pentene. In addition ethene and 3-hexene are expected as products of 1-butene metathesis. 2014-07-31T11:09:41Z 2014-07-31T11:09:41Z 2008 Master Thesis Masters MSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/5323 eng application/pdf Department of Chemical Engineering Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment University of Cape Town |
