Process for converting olefins into higher hydrocarbons |
(57) In the conversion of olefins into higher hydrocarbons, a feedstock comprising ethylene
and C
3+ olefins is prefractionated to obtain gaseous ethylene and a liquid stream containing
C
3+ olefins; the C
3+ olefins are then oligomerized to obtain distillate and gasoline fractions and part
of the gasoline fraction is recycled and used as the prefractionation sorbent.
