Propene oligomerization over steam dealuminated and boron and phospherous modified ZSM-5
… in an attempt to improve the selectivity of the catalyst with respect to the linearity of the liquid product of propene oligomerization. Boron was incorporated into the zeolite framework by inclusion in the synthesis gel. Boralite catalysts made in this way and containing very low Al contents had …
