Abstract
Abstract This invention relates to a method of preparing a catalyst useful in hydrocarbon conversion such as alkylation and polymerization. More particularly, this invention relates to the polymerization of polymerizable hydrocarbons e.g. propylene and the alkylation of alkylatable hydrocarbons e.g. benzene in the presence of an alumina catalyst activated with an organic species having at least two carbon atoms per molecule, and chlorine or bromine in suitable proportions, or with a mixture of multicarbon activators and chlorine and bromine.
