Reaction Steps

Ammonia gas was slowly bubbled through 1-methoxyoctane (50 mL) for 1 hour to form a saturated ammonia solution in 1-methoxyoctane. Analysis of ammonia in methoxyoctane indicated that the solution was saturated after 30 minutes of bubbling (15 min, 2372 mg NH3/L; 30 min, 3016 mg NH3/L; 60 min, 2924 mg NH3/L; 90 min, 3294 mg NH3/L). The NH3 saturated methoxyoctane solution was used as feed to the cracking reactor. The data are presented in Table 3. (NH3 helps to give higher conversion while maintaining high octene-1 selectivity.)
