PROCESS FOR THE FORMATION OF A SUPERIOR LUBRICANT OR FUEL BLENDSTOCK BY IONIC LIQUID OLIGOMERIZATION OF OLEFINS IN THE PRESENCE OF ISOPARAFFINS

摘要

A process and method for making a superior lubricant or distillate fuel component by the oligomerization/alkylation of a mixture comprising olefins and isoparaffins to produce an alkylated ('capped') olefin oligomer using an acidic chloroaluminate ionic liquid catalyst system. Preferably the ionic liquid catalyst system comprises a Brönsted acid.
