Abstract

A process for producing desulfurized alpha olefins may include reacting a conjugated diene compound and a hydrocarbon oil stream including alpha olefins in a Diels-Alder reactor at a temperature of 100° C. to 250° C. to form an effluent stream including adducts of the conjugated diene compound and the alpha olefins, subjecting the effluent stream to a hydrodesulfurization catalyst and a hydrogen stream in a hydrodesulfurization reactor to produce a hydrodesulfurized effluent stream including the adducts, a saturated C₅₊ hydrocarbon stream, and a gaseous stream, separating the adducts, the saturated C₅₊ hydrocarbon stream, and the gaseous stream, and cracking the adducts in a first thermal cracking reactor operating at a temperature greater than 250° C. to produce a decomposed adducts stream including an alpha olefin stream and a recovered conjugated diene compound stream, wherein the gaseous stream includes hydrogen, sulfides, C₁-C₄ saturated hydrocarbons, or combinations thereof.
