  3. Abstract:
  4. Reduction of aromatics implies that the gasoline pool would suffer both quantitatively and qualitatively. Alkylates (highly branched paraffinic hydrocarbons) are ideal substitutes because of their high octane numbers, and environmental friendly characters. Alkylates have played significant roles in US gasoline pool, while in Europe alkylates have a lesser important role. The phase out of lead and the increased capacity of FCC units for making more gasoline from heavier petroleum cuts have enhanced the validity of alkylation processes in petroleum refineries. Based on the data obtained in the laboratory using a new developed catalyst, it is predicted to behave as a successful catalyst for C4 alkylation to produce high-octane branched chain hydrocarbons from petroleum refinery gases
