Abstract
An improved process for alkylation of isoparaffins with olefins to yield a product which includes a high proportion of highly branched alkylates for blending into gasolines is disclosed. The catalyst comprises a large pore zeolite such as USY which may be partially or fully exchanged with a cation or cations selected from the rare-earth metals.
Claims10
An isoparaffin-olefin alkylation process which comprises reacting isoparaffin and olefin under alkylation conditions in the presence of a catalyst which composes a large pore zeolite having a hydrogenation component, the zeolite being capable of adsorbing 2,2,4-trimethylpentane, and hydrogen in a mole ratio of hydrogen to olefin between 0.4 and 0.15, to provide an alkylate product.
