Saturated α‑Olefin Oligomer as a W/O Nanoemulsion for Veterinary Immune Adjuvants Based on Crude Oil to Chemicals Technology.

ABSTRACT: The "crude oil to chemicals" (COTC) technology provides a sustainable transformation pathway for the petrochemical industry within the low-carbon economy. A challenge arises from the utilization efficiency of low molecular weight α-olefin oligomers (AOLs), which were produced during poly-α-olefin synthesis. Typically, these AOLs were combusted, exacerbating resource waste and environmental pollution. This study proposes a value-added strategy: hydrogenating AOL to produce saturated α-olefin oligomer (SAOL) addresses this challenge. SAOL (C₁₆H₃₄) was polymerized in the presence of a metallocene catalyst and methylaluminoxane cocatalyst, saturated by hydrogenation. SAOL was formulated into a water-in-oil nanoemulsion with a particle size of 349.13 nm, optimized through
