1. A hydrocarbon conversion process comprising:
contacting a hydrocarbon feed with an acidic catalyst under hydrocarbon conversion conditions in a hydrocarbon conversion zone, the acidic catalyst selected from the group consisting of sulfuric acid, hydrofluoric acid, trifluoromethanesulfonic acid, phosphoric acid, boron trifluoride, and acidic ionic liquids, the hydrocarbon feed reacting to form a mixture comprising reaction products, the acidic catalyst, and deactivated acidic catalyst containing conjunct polymer; separating the mixture into at least two streams, a first stream comprising the reaction products and a second stream comprising the deactivated acidic catalyst containing conjunct polymer; recovering the reaction products; contacting the deactivated acidic catalyst containing the conjunct polymer with at least one silane or borane compound in a regeneration zone under regeneration conditions, the conjunct polymer reacting with the at least one silane or borane compound resulting in a catalyst phase and an organic phase containing the conjunct polymer and at least one silyl or boryl compound. |
