ABSTRACT:
A process is disclosed for the simultaneous alkylation of light hydrocarbons to produce gasoline blending components and the etherification of an isoolefin to produce an ether. The etherification zone effluent stream contains normal olefins and isoparaffins consumed in an acid-catalyzed alkylation zone. The etherification zone effluent stream is separated in a fractionation column in a manner which provides a small amount of ether in the hydrocarbon-rich overhead stream. The presence of the ether in the acid-catalyst is beneficial to the alkylation reaction by providing a higher octane number product.
