First Claim
Patent Images
1. An alkylation process, comprising:
- alkylating reactants in an alkylation reactor (300);
separating and recycling a hydrogen gas and a hydrogen chloride from an offgas (50) of a hydrogenation reactor (100);
wherein the hydrogen gas is recycled to the hydrogenation reactor (100); and
wherein the hydrogen chloride is recycled to the alkylation reactor (300).
