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 Ni2+ (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.
