  • Alkylation catalyst regeneration
    Patent number: 5264649
    Abstract: Disclosed is a process for removing acid soluble oils, produced as an undesirable by-product of an HF catalyzed alkylation reaction, from a liquid containing a sulfone compound. The process includes the use of a solvent to extract the acid soluble oils from a sulfone-containing fluid that has previously been neutralized by a treating step.

  • Alkylation catalyst regeneration
    Patent number: 5264647
    Abstract: Described is a novel process for regenerating an ASO contaminated alkylation catalyst which contains a sulfone component and a hydrogen halide component. The alkylation catalyst undergoes a series of separation steps to remove a significant portion of the hydrogen halide component contained therein followed by a phase separation between an ASO phase and a sulfone phase. The sulfone phase is then contacted with a carbon material to remove a portion of any remaining ASO contained in the sulfone.
