Current Trends in the Processing of Linear Alpha Olefins into Technologically Important Products: Part 2

This review continues Part 1, which considered current trends in the processing of linear alpha olefins to ethylene copolymers, and anionic and nonionic surfactants. This review also briefly outlines such importnant trends in the processing of LAOs as alkylation to linear alkylbenzenes, the oligomerization of alpha olefins into poly alpha olefins, sulfonation to alpha olefin sulfonates, and other large-scale processes.
