METHOD OF IMPROVING ALKYLATE YIELD IN AN ALKYLATION REACTION

摘要

A method of operation wherein catalytic reactors which cycle between reaction mode and catalyst regeneration mode have their contents exchanged with each other at the beginning of each cycle in order to increase the yield of the desired product. This exchange increases said yield by minimizing the contact of reactant in reaction mode with regenerant utilized in regeneration mode, thereby reducing / preventing the undesirable alternate reaction between the two, which consumes said reactant making it unavailable for the production of the desired product.
