Abstract

Abstract: The oligomerization of short alkenes (ethylene and propylene) can be used for producing commodity chemicals. Various catalysts have been used for alkene oligomerization, among which ordered microporous catalysts are thermally and mechanically stable and are already established for large‐scale industrial applications. In this work, we demonstrate ethylene oligomerization reaction on a microporous titanosilicate ETS‐10 (Engelhard Titanosiliate‐10) exchanged with Ni 2+ (Ni‐ETS‐10). We demonstrate a template‐free and fluoride‐free ETS‐10 synthesis method that does not produce impurities commonly seen in hydrothermal ETS‐10 synthesis. Ni‐ETS‐10 showed high C2 conversion rate, high selectivity to C4 and high stability comparing to other microporous catalysts investigated in this work for ethylene oligomerization reaction. Abstract : More deETS, please ! ETS‐10 loaded with Ni 2+ is shown to be active and stable for ethylene oligomerization. Ni‐ETS‐10 showed high C4 selectivity among microporous catalysts for ethylene oligomerization.
