BENZENE ALKYLATION WITH ETHANOL OVER SHAPE SELECTIVE ZEOLITE CATALYSTS

摘要

Selective formation of ethylbenzene using benzene and ethanol over HZSM-5 has been studied in the temperature range of 548-648 K at atmospheric pressure. The activity and selectivity of the catalyst showed maximum conversion at a particular Si/Al ratio of the HZSM-5 catalyst. The experimental data were analyzed based on the product pattern using the Langmuir-Hinshelwood-Hougen-Watson approach.
