0.75NMA-1.0AlCl3 IL analogue was an efficient catalyst for isobutane alkylation.
CuCl modification improved greatly both the catalytic performance and the quality of alkylate.
C8 selectivity, TMPs/DMHs ratio and RON in semicontinuous mode reached 94.65 wt%, 14.98 and 98.40, respectively.
C8 selectivity, TMPs/DMHs ratio and RON in batch mode reached 84.10 wt%, 14.86 and 96.54, respectively.
