Abstract
A process for the conversion of linear and/or branched paraffins hydrocarbons, catalysed by an ionic liquid catalyst, in the presence of a cyclic hydrocarbon additive containing a tertiary carbon atom. The presence of the specific hydrocarbon additives influences the reaction mechanism by increasing the selectivity towards the formation of paraffin hydrocarbons with a higher degree of branching.
Claims10
Process for isomerisation of paraffin hydrocarbons catalysed by an ionic liquid catalyst in the presence of one or more cyclic hydrocarbon additives in a reaction medium, which cyclic hydrocarbon additives contain and/or are transformed in the reaction medium to a compound containing a structural unit with a tertiary carbon atom.
