Abstract
Isobutane was alkylated with 2-butene, in batchwise conditions, using liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride-aluminium chloride molten salts as the acidic catalyst. The effect of the operating variables on the product composition has been investigated. The control of the aci dity of the catalyst has made possible the production of a high qualit y alkylate.
