Abstract
A process is described for the production of hydrocarbons with a high octane number starting from hydrocarbon cuts containing isobutene by selective dimerization with acid catalysts, characterized in that the dimerization reaction is carried out in the presence of tertiary alcohols, alkyl ethers and primary alcohols in such a quantity as to have, in the feeding, a molar ratio tertiary alcohols+alkyl ethers+primary alcohols/isobutene higher than 0.1, a molar ratio tertiary alcohols/isobutene lower than 0.2 and a molar ratio primary alcohols/isobutene lower than 0.2, preferably operating at a reaction temperature ranging from 30 to 120° C., at a pressure lower than 5 MPa and feeding space velocities of less than 30 h .
