Process for the catalytic alkylation of hydrocarbons

摘要

The present invention relates to a process for the catalytic alkylation of hydrocarbons comprising (i) reacting an alkylatable compound with an alkylation agent over a solid acid alkylation catalyst to form an alkylate, and (ii) regenerating said catalyst under mild regeneration conditions in the presence of hydrogen and hydrocarbon, wherein the hydrocarbon comprises at least a portion of the formed alkylate.
