Abstract:
The present invention provides a process for the conversion of a reactant into a reaction product in the presence of a solid acid catalyst comprising one or more fluorine atoms, sulfo radicals and phosphono radicals, each such radical being bonded to the same or different carbon atom, with the proviso that at least one sulfo radical and at least one phosphono radical are bonded to such carbon atoms through the sulfur atom and the phosphorus atom, respectively. These compounds are preferably non-polymeric, i.e. they have a molecular weight of about 5000 or less. The above acid catalysts may be reacted with a tetravalent metal, e.g. Zr, to provide a solid acid catalyst.
Abstract:
This invention is a process for the alkylation of isoparaffin with olefins using a catalyst system comprising certain transition aluminas promoted with a Lewis acid (preferably BF3), and free Lewis acid. The product alkylate is a complex mixture of branched paraffins suitable for use as a high octane blending component for motor fuels.

Abstract:
This invention is a process for the regeneration of solid acidic hydrocarbon conversion catalysts, but particularly certain transition aluminas and zeolites promoted with Lewis acids (preferably BF3) which have been used in the alkylation of isoparaffins with olefins. The process involves the removal of some portion of the reaction product residue adhering to the solid catalyst by contact with a solvent to partially recover the catalyst's initial activity.

Abstract:
This invention is directed to a catalyst system for use in the alkylation of isoparaffin with olefins. More specifically, this invention is directed to an improved catalyst system containing specified amounts of water and a component of that system comprising certain transition aluminas promoted with a Lewis acid (preferably BF3). In addition, this invention is a catalytic process for the alkylation of isoparaffin with olefins. The catalyst component is produced by contacting the transition alumina with the Lewis acid at relatively low temperatures. The catalyst system comprises that component and an additional amount of free Lewis acid. The process entails isoparaffin alkylation with olefins using the catalyst component and its allied catalyst system.
