<p>Processes for the disproportionation and isomerization of a C4 hydrocarbon feed using a liquid catalyst. The process includes disproportionating a hydrocarbon feed comprising normal C4 alkane or branched C4 alkane by contacting the hydrocarbon feed with a liquid catalyst in a reaction zone under disproportionation conditions to form a product mixture comprising at least 0.2 wt% C3- alkanes and C5+ alkanes in 1 hr based on the C4 alkanes in the hydrocarbon feed, wherein the liquid catalyst comprises an unsupported ionic liquid and a carbocation promoter, and wherein a mass ratio of liquid catalyst to hydrocarbon feed is less than 0.75:1.</p> |
