Solid acid catalysts based on heteropoly acids supported on different oxides catalyse the alkylation of isobutane with n-butenes to yield high‐octane gasoline components. They are active for a short period of time on stream. Regeneration is easily made by thermal treatment under air. The catalysts have been characterised by NMR, EPR, XRD and TEM‐EDS techniques.
