Abstract:
1. A process for making hydrocarbon products, comprising: reacting butene and isobutane with an acidic ionic liquid catalyst, adjusting a level of one or more conjunct polymers in the acidic ionic liquid catalyst between a low level of 10 wt % or less that favors a production of C 5 + products boiling at 280° F. (137.8 degree Celsius) or below and a higher level of greater than 10 wt %, that favors a production of both C 5 + products boiling at 280° F. (137.8 degree Celsius) or below and C 5 + products boiling above 280° F. (137.8 degree Celsius); and wherein the adjusting is done in response to a market demand for different hydrocarbon products.
