Methods for producing xylenes with limited ethylbenzene production

A method for producing one or more of benzene, toluene, or xylene, the method comprising:

• contacting a feed stream comprising C9+ alkylaromatic hydrocarbons with a catalyst mixture to form one or more of benzene, toluene, or xylene, the catalyst mixture comprising:
• mesoporous zeolite Beta;
• ZSM-5 zeolite;
• one or more active metals;
• and
• binder material;
• and
• wherein:
• the feed stream is a heavy reformate and comprises at least 20 wt. % toluene;
• the feed stream comprises C9+ alkylaromatic hydrocarbons in an amount of at least 10 wt. %;
• the weight ratio of mesoporous zeolite Beta to ZSM-5 zeolite is from 2 to 4;
• a product stream is formed by the contacting of the feed stream with the catalyst mixture;
• and
• the product stream comprises less than or equal to 0.5 wt. % ethylbenzene.
