ABSTRACT:
Olefin upgrading in plural reactors can achieve conversion of lower olefinic feedstock, such as propene, butene, etc., to valuable heavy hydrocarbons containing a lubricant fraction of high viscosity index. Other fuel products, such as (C.sub.10 -C.sub.20) distillate, gasoline and LPG may also be recovered as products. In a preferred process for converting lower olefinic feed to heavier hydrocarbons by contacting the feed with a shape selective medium pore acidic zeolite catalyst at elevated temperature and pressure the catalyst surface is rendered relatively inactive by adding to the olefinic feed an inactivating amount of a sterically-hindered organic base, whereby the catalyst is selectively surface-deactivated, to produce substantially linear heavier hydrocarbons rich in C.sub.10.sup.+ olefins. In the preferred multi-stage process the olefinic feed comprises C.sub.2 -C.sub.8 olefins and the catalyst employed in each stage comprises aluminosilicate having a silica-to-alumina mole ratio of at least 12 and a constraint index of about 1 to 12.
