Abstract
Benzene alkylation with isopropanol has been carried out over ZSM-5 an d Fe-MFI zeolites. It was observed that Fe-MFI zeolite showed a better selectivity for cumene (isopropylbenzene) and i/(i+n) propylbenzene r atio. This can be attributed to the acidity characteristic of the zeol ite. The effects of variation in reaction conditions such as temperatu re, mole ratio of benzene/isopropanol and WHSV on the activity and sel ectivity of Fe-MFI are discussed.
