Abstract
After Ford Model-T, there was a rapid growth in transportation vehicles. Demand boomed for motor gasoline (“mogas”). Hence, many of early refining processes were designed for conversion of heavy fractions to increase gasoline yields and enhance octane ratings. Such processes include isomerization, reforming, and polymerization. Innovative technologies using ionic liquid and solid acids have recently emerged for producing premium gasoline, alkylates.
