SCHWEFEL ENTHALTENDER ALKYLIERUNGSKATALYSATOR UND DESSEN VERWENDUNG

摘要

The invention relates to a process for alkylating a hydrcarbon feed which comprises contacting the hydrocarbon feed to be alkylated with an alkylation agent in the presence of a catalyst comprising a solid acid, a hydrogenation component consisting essentially of one or more Group VIII noble metals, and at least 0.05 wt% of sulfur, based on the total weight of the catalyst composition. The invention further pertains to a catalyst suitable for said process and to a process for the preparation of said catalyst. The use of said catalyst results in a high conversion of the alkylation agent, a high C5+ alkylate yield, and a good stability, while the selectivity has improved over the use of a comparable catalyst without sulfur.
