<p>The invention provides a first catalyst complex for promoting alkylation of an isoparaffin with an olefin, the catalyst complex comprising the reaction product of BF3 and at least one member selected from the group consisting of H3PO4 and H2O; and, additionally, excess BF3 in concentration from about 10 ppm (weight) to 5 percent by weight of the total isoparaffin and olefin feed. The invention further provides a process for the alkylation of an isoparaffin with an olefin in accordance with the process scheme of the figure by contacting a mixture of isoparaffin and olefin (10) with the catalyst complex in a reactor (20), decanting the hydrocarbon product (38) from the catalyst complex (36), and deacidifying the hydrocarbon product in vessel (60).</p> |
