Abstract
Ethylbenzene (EB) conversion over high-silica mordenites prepared by d irect crystallization and dealumination is studied. Dealumination is s hown to increase the rate of EB disproportionation and catalyst stabil ity. The conditions for the preparation of the mordenite catalysts ena bling improved selectivity for the EB conversion into p-diethylbenzene are found.
