Aliphatic Alkylation in Petroleum Refining offers a comprehensive exploration of the alkylation process, covering essential concepts from molecular-level interfacial properties to large-scale industrial applications. With the demand for fuel feedstocks outpacing the capabilities of direct distillation from oil fractions, refining processes such as reforming, isomerization, and particularly alkylation are critical to meeting the gasoline market’s needs. This book emphasizes the significance of alkylation, highlighting its ability to produce high-quality alkylate with a superior Research Octane Number (RON).
Despite the long-standing industrial use of Aliphatic alkylation with H2SO4 and HF catalysts, challenges remain due to the intricacies of heterogeneous reactions. Topics such as thermodynamics, reaction mechanisms, and molecular-level interfacial properties are pivotal for understanding and addressing these issues.
Key features of the book include:
– An introduction to industrial alkylation technologies and process safety considerations with various catalysts
– Insight into reaction mechanisms and kinetic models associated with different catalysts
– A detailed presentation of interfacial behaviors between reactants and catalysts, crucial for the process intensification of Aliphatic alkylation
