The invention provides a butyl rubber production process, which comprises: S1) mixing monoolefine, diene, a nitrogen-containing organic compound and a reaction solvent to obtain a reactant solution; wherein a nitrogen-containing organic compound is selected from alkylamine and/or aromatic amine; mixing a main catalyst, a cocatalyst and a reaction solvent to obtain a catalytic system; wherein the main catalyst is Lewis acid; S2) aging the catalytic system at a low temperature, then mixing the aged catalytic system with a reactant solution, and carrying out a reaction to obtain product slurry; and S3) adding an alcohol compound into the product slurry to terminate the reaction, thereby obtaining the butyl rubber. Compared with the prior art, according to the invention, the nitrogen-containing organic compound is introduced as a slurry stabilizer in the polymerization process; due to the existence of a substance, the cationic active polymerization speed can be effectively reduced, the dispersion state of a product in a polymerization system is improved, the product is uniformly dispersed, the mass transfer and heat transfer of the polymerization system are effectively enhanced, the product quality is stable, the molecular weight distribution is widened, and the processability is excellent.
