Abstract

The development of efficient catalysts for butene oligomerization is crucial for upgrading olefin feedstocks. Mesoporous Ni–Fe@γ-Al2O3 catalysts with varying Ni/Fe ratios and supports were prepared using a co-impregnation method, and their catalytic activities in butene oligomerization were evaluated. Structural analysis revealed that Ni/Fe ratio = 0.6 with AlOx−2 support optimized textural properties (specific surface area = 234 m2/g, pore volume = 0.27 cm3/g). Catalytic performance was evaluated in a fixed-bed reactor at 100 °C and 3.0 MPa. The Ni/Fe–AlOx−2 catalyst demonstrated superior activity and stability: 68% butene conversion maintained for 210 h, 92% selectivity toward C8 and C12 oligomers, minimal deactivation observed due to its uniform mesoporous structure (pore diameter = 6.0 nm) and acid sites, which enhanced mass transfer and suppressed side reactions. Structure–activity relationships confirmed that Ni/Fe synergism and relatively uniform acid sites collectively promoted oligomerization pathways. Compared to other catalysts, Ni/Fe-AlOx−2 showed higher conversion rates, better selectivity and stability. This work establishes a design strategy for industrial catalysts by balancing porosity, acidity, and metal interactions, offering a viable solution for sustainable butene processing.
