“…For this reason, the process is not considered environmentally friendly. On the other hand, this process presents serious deactivation problems caused by the formation of high-molecular-weight oligomers on the catalyst active sites (Rakhimov et al, 1998). Therefore, one of the challenges in the oligomerization of butenes, in order to get high-octane gasoline, is the development of catalysts with high selectivity to C 8 -olefins, avoiding the formation of heavier olefinic fractions (C þ 12 ).…”
