Abstract:
1. A process for the sulfuric acid catalyzed alkylation of C3-C5 olefins with isobutane comprising the steps of: (a) feeding sulfuric acid to an eductor in a reactor; (b) feeding a hydrocarbon stream containing C3-C5 olefins and isobutane to said eductor wherein the sulfuric acid acts as the motive fluid to intimately mix the sulfuric acid with the hydrocarbon stream; (c) reacting a portion of the C (d) separating the hydrocarbon portion of the product stream from the sulfuric acid within the reactor by contact with a first demister pad; (e) removing the hydrocarbon stream from the reactor for further processing; and removing the sulfuric acid from the reactor for recycle to the feed.
