A process for making high density fuels, pure terpene dimers, and byproducts from mixed terpene feedstocks and the resulting high density fuel products. The fuels produced by the process includes, dimerizing at least one terpene feedstock by mixing at least one terpene with at least one heterogeneous acidic catalyst and at least one solvent used to control the reaction temperature for a desired time and temperature to produce a crude terpene dimer (C.sub.20H.sub.32 mixture) in about 65% to about 95% chemical yield, hydrogenating the crude terpene dimer (C.sub.20H.sub.32 mixture) with at least one hydrogenation catalyst under a hydrogen atmosphere and removing the hydrogenating catalyst(s) to produce about 65% by weight to about 95% by weight of hydrogenated terpene dimer mixture, and utilizing a separation method against the hydrogenated terpene dimer mixture to produce byproducts, where the process generates a hydrocarbon mixture with a viscosity of between about 20 and 50 cSt at 40 C.

The invention relates to the conversion of paraffinic hydrocarbon to oligomers of greater molecular weight and/or to aromatic hydrocarbon. The invention also relates to equipment and materials useful in such conversion, and to the use of such conversion for, e.g., natural gas upgrading. Corresponding olefinic hydrocarbon is produced from the paraffinic hydrocarbon in the presence of a dehydrogenation catalyst containing a catalytically active carbonaceous component. The corresponding olefinic hydrocarbon is then converted by oligomerization and/or dehydrocyclization in the presence of at least one molecular sieve catalyst.

The present invention relates to a process for preparing a catalyst, wherein the process comprises steps of: 1) providing a molecular sieve, adding an active metal promoter into the molecular sieve, and shaping the molecular sieve into a shaped body, 2) placing the shaped body in a fixed bed reactor, 3) dissolving a transition metal salt in a first valence state and a bidentate ligand into a solvent to prepare a solution, 4) passing the solution and ethylene through the fixed bed reactor charged with the shaped body, loading the transition metal onto the molecular sieve through ion exchange, and at the same time the transition metal in the first valence state at least partially being reduced into a transition metal salt in a second valence state by the active metal promoter, wherein the second valence state is lower than the first valence state, so as to obtain the catalyst.

A continuous mixing reactor has an outer shell having a cylindrical portion with a central section and two opposite conical end sections; a circulation tube within the shell so that an annular passage forms between the shell and the circulation tube; an impeller within and positioned adjacent to one end of the circulation tube; and heat exchange means penetrating the outer shell and extending into the end of the circulation tube opposite the impeller. The outer shell has a hydraulic head forming one end of the shell, a heat exchange medium header at the opposite end of the shell. The circulation tube nearer the heat exchange medium header terminates at or downstream from a tangential plane extending through the shell at the intersection of the central section and the conical end section of the cylindrical portion of shell. The reactor is useful in an alkylation process.
