The present application provides systems and methods for producing isononanol and gasoline and diesel blending components. In at least one embodiment of the present systems and methods, a hydrocarbon feed is cracked in a steam cracker to form a first ethylene stream, a first propylene stream, and a C4 stream comprising isobutene and butadiene. The C4 stream is reacted with a methanol stream in a methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) unit to form MTBE and a butadiene-rich C4 stream. The butadiene-rich C4 stream is selectively hydrogenated in a butadiene unit to form a butene-rich C4 stream. The butene-rich C4 stream undergoes a series of reactions in an isononanol unit to produce isononanol and an olefin-rich stream. The olefin-rich stream is then separate, in a separation unit, a C8, C12, and C16 fuel oil streams.

Provided is a catalyst including a metal component including a first component that is rhenium and one or more second components selected from the group consisting of silicon, gallium, germanium, and indium and a carrier on which the metal component is supported, the carrier including an oxide of a metal belonging to Group 4 of the periodic table.

The present disclosure relates to a new catalytic process for the production of methanol from carbon dioxide, comprising: (1) the conversion of carbon dioxide and hydrogen to formic acid or formate salts; (2) converting the formic acid or formate salts to diformate esters of diols; (3) hydrogenating the diformate esters to methanol and diols. The diols produced from the hydrogenation reaction can be recovered and re-used to prepare the diformate esters.

The invention relates to a method for treating oxygenated volatile organic compounds in Fischer-Tropsch synthesis reaction water. Fischer-Tropsch synthesis reaction water is subjected to (a) primary concentration and separation, (b) carbonyl compound hydrogenation, (c) carbonyl compound cutting, (d) mixed-alcohol dehydration, (e) solvent recovery, (f) ethyl alcohol separation, (g) methyl alcohol removal and separation, (h) isopropanol separation, (i) propyl alcohol cutting, (j) n-propyl alcohol separation, and (k) 2-butanol separation, so that basic organic chemicals such as ethyl alcohol, isopropanol, n-propyl alcohol, 2-butanol and mixed alcohols are obtained. Compared with the prior art, the method directly converts the concentrated Fischer-Tropsch synthesis water rich in alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, acids, and esters into a mixed-alcohol solution by hydrogenation, thus having the advantages of simple separation process and high product purity.
