Abstract
Benzene isopropylation over medium Port ferrisilicate to obtain cumene has been studied. Effects of reaction conditions on cumene selectivit y are discussed. Based on the reaction network, various models were de rived and fitted to kinetic data. A simple stoichiometric model repres ented the kinetic data significantly better than other models. Estimat ed activation energy values indicated that benzene alkylation is faste r than cumene isomerisation to n-propylbenzene.
