Usage

General Description

2,2,3-Trimethylpentane, also known as isooctane, is a colorless liquid hydrocarbon. It is a highly flammable chemical with a strong odor, and it is commonly used as a standard for octane ratings in gasoline. Isooctane is produced by the catalytic reforming of naphtha, and it is a key component in the production of high-octane gasoline blends. It is also used as a solvent in the manufacturing of rubber and adhesives, as well as in the production of paints and coatings. Isooctane is a volatile organic compound (VOC) that can contribute to air pollution, and it is important to handle it with caution in industrial and laboratory settings.

Alkylation of isobutane with 2-butene using ionic liquids as catalyst

Alkylation of isobutane with 2-butene was performed in a batch reactor using the ionic liquid 1-n-octyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide aluminium chloride ([OMIM]Br-AlCl3) pure, and in a mixture with compounds containing SO3H-groups. The acidity of the ionic liquid (IL) was modified by the addition of acid cation exchange resins (dry or with a small amount of water), or by the addition of a second IL ([(HO3SBu)MIM]HSO4). A high content of the desired trimethylpentanes (up to 64%) and thus a high research octane number (RON up to 96) of the alkylate was obtained. The reusability of the IL systems was studied and compared with a catalyst commercially used at present (H2SO4).
