What is the process for alkylation?
In simple terms, replace unsaturated hydrocarbons with saturated ones; straight-chain ones are best, as they increase the octane rating
There are too many types of alkylation, and tetraalkylation is just one of them. This technology is widely applied, for example in the production of mixed xylene from toluene and methanol.
Alkylation oils have been the subject of extensive research recently, with a focus on their use as substitutes for catalysts. Sulfuric acid and hydrofluoric acid pose significant hazards; solid acids are available in industrial applications, and Sinopec is also preparing to adopt them.

However, in the alkylation process used in refineries, small molecular alkanes and olefins are combined through catalytic reactions to form isomeric hydrocarbon molecules, which is a method for producing components for high-octane gasoline. The typical reaction is the formation of isomeric alkanes from isobutylene and C3, C4, and C5 alkanes.
Now, many already use solid catalysts
