ALKYLATION PROCESS

摘要

The invention provides a process for the alkylation of one or more streams containing one or more aromatics selected from the group including benzene, toluene, o-xylene, p-xylene, m-xylene, and ethyl benzene with olefins wherein the process is carried out at an aromatics to olefin ratio of from 1:6 to 1:30 on a molar basis, said process being carried out under oligomerisation conditions in the presence of a solid phosphorous catalyst at a temperature of from 140°C to 240°C and a pressure of from 1.5 MPa to 10 MPa whereby both oligomerisation and alkylation occur together.
