  • APPARATUS FOR PERFORMING A HYDROCARBON CONVERSION USING AN ACIDIC IONIC LIQUID
    Publication number: 20160332134
    Abstract: We provide an apparatus for performing a hydrocarbon conversion or for handling of an output of the hydrocarbon conversion, comprising: a bare metal alloy, wherein the bare metal alloy comprises: from 15.1 to 49 wt % nickel, from 2.3 to 10 wt % molybdenum, from 0.00 to 2.95 wt % copper, from 5 to 25 wt % chromium, and from 20 to 59 wt % iron; wherein the bare metal alloy exhibits a corrosion rate less than 0.07 mm/year when performing the hydrocarbon conversion or handling the output of the hydrocarbon conversion; and wherein the hydrocarbon conversion is performed using an acidic ionic liquid. We also provide a process for using the apparatus.
