I-alkylation ukudluliselwa kweqembu le-alkyl lisuka kwelinye i-molecule liye kwelinye.Ukusabela lapho iqembu le-alkyl (i-methyl, i-ethyl, njll.) lethulwa ku-molecule ehlanganisiwe.Ama-alkylation agents avame ukusetshenziswa embonini i-olefin, i-halane, i-alkyl sulfate ester, njll.
Enqubweni evamile yokucwenga, uhlelo lwe-alkylation luhlanganisa ama-alkenes esisindo samangqamuzana aphansi (ikakhulukazi i-propylene ne-butene) ne-isobutane esebenzisa i-catalyst (i-sulfonic noma i-hydrofluoric acid) ukwenza ama-alkylates (ikakhulukazi ama-octane aphezulu, ama-alkanes aseceleni).Ukusabela kwe-alkylation kungahlukaniswa ku-alkylation eshisayo kanye ne-catalytic alkylation.Ngenxa yokushisa okuphezulu kokusabela kwe-alkylation eshisayo, kulula ukukhiqiza i-pyrolysis nokunye ukusabela ohlangothini, ngakho-ke indlela ye-catalytic alkylation iyamukelwa embonini.
Ngenxa yokuthi i-sulfuric acid ne-hydrofluoric acid ine-asidi eqinile, ukugqwala kwemishini kubi kakhulu.Ngakho-ke, ngokombono wokukhiqiza okuphephile nokuvikelwa kwemvelo, lezi zisusa ezimbili aziwona ama-catalysts afanelekile.Njengamanje, i-superacid eqinile isetshenziswa njenge-alkylation catalyst, kodwa ayikakafinyeleli esigabeni sokusetshenziswa kwezimboni kuze kube manje.
Ukuguqulwa kwe-isomer eyodwa nenye.Inqubo yokushintsha ukwakheka kwenhlanganisela ngaphandle kokushintsha ukwakheka kwayo noma isisindo samangqamuzana.Ushintsho endaweni ye-athomu noma yeqembu ku-organic compound molecule.Ngokuvamile phambi kwama-catalysts.
Uhlobo olulodwa lwe-hydrocarbon lungashintshwa lube izinhlobo ezimbili ze-hydrocarbon ehlukene ngokusebenzisa inqubo yokuhlukanisa, ngakho-ke ukungafani kungenye yezindlela ezibalulekile zokulawula ukuhlinzekwa kanye nokufunwa kwe-hydrocarbon embonini.Izinhlelo zokusebenza ezibaluleke kakhulu ukungafani kwe-toluene ukuze kukhuliswe ukukhiqizwa kwexylene nokukhiqiza i-benzene ehlanzekile ngesikhathi esisodwa, nokuhlukaniswa kwe-propylene ukukhiqiza izinqubo ze-triolefin ze-polymer-grade ethylene kanye ne-high purity butene.Ukuguqulwa kwe-toluene ibe yi-benzene nexylene ngokuvamile kusebenzisa i-silicon aluminium catalyst.Njengamanje, ucwaningo oludume kakhulu yi-molecular sieve catalyst, njenge-meridionite-type silk molecular sieve.
