Patent ·
OSTI ID:5117752
This paper describes an alkylation process for producing high octane gasoline. It Comprises: reacting a stream of an isoparaffin containing from 4 to 20 carbon atoms with a stream of an olefin containing from 2 to 12 carbon atoms at a temperature from about 40{degrees}C to about 500{degrees}C and at a pressure in the range of subatmospheric to about 5000 psig in an alkylation zone using a reaction mixture wherein a molar ratio of the isoparaffin to the olefin in the combined hydrocarbon feed is from about 1:1 to about 50:1 the presence of added water and in contact with an alkylation catalyst comprising a Lewis acid and a bound and/or unbound large pore zeolite.
