Abstract
Selective formation of cymene by transalkylation reaction of toluene w ith cumene and 1,4-diisopropylbenzene is described. The effect of vari ous reaction parameters on the activity and selectivity is studied ove r H-Beta and results are compared with H-Y and H-ZSM-12. The performan ce and deactivation of the zeolites are attributed to their structural properties. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
