Lubricant or fuel blendstock made by Ionic liquid oligomerization of olefins in the presence of isoparaffins

摘要

A process and method for making a superior lubricant or distillate fuel component by the oligomerization/alkylation of a mixture comprising olefins and isoparaffins to produce an alkylated ("capped") olefin oligomer using an acidic chloroaluminate ionic liquid catalyst system. Preferably the ionic liquid catalyst system comprises a Brönsted acid.
