It was found that the longer the alkyl chain of ionic liquid cations was, the higher the olefins conversion would be. OMIMBr-AlCl3 (with 0.67 molar fraction of AlCl3) had an obvious performance on olefins removal. The influences of various reaction parameters such as the dosage of catalyst, the reaction temperature, and the reaction time on the reaction catalyzed by OMIMBr-AlCl3 were investigated. Under optimum reaction conditions, a higher than 99% conversion of olefins was achieved. The preliminary results revealed that the process could save time, consume less energy, separate products easier, and cause less pollution to the environment.展开更多
