Abstract
A catalyst composition and a process for converting a C.sub.9 + aromatic compound such as, for example, 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene to a C.sub.6 to C.sub.8 aromatic hydrocarbon such as a xylene are disclosed. The composition comprises a zeolite, a metal oxide, and optionally a selectivity modifier selected from the group consisting of silicon, sulfur, phosphorus, boron, magnesium, tin, titanium, zirconium, germanium, indium, lanthanum, cesium, oxides thereof and combinations of any two or more thereof. The process comprises contacting a fluid which comprises a C.sub.9 + aromatic compound with the catalyst composition under a condition sufficient to effect the conversion of a C.sub.9 + aromatic compound to a C.sub.6 to C.sub.8 aromatic hydrocarbon.

A hydrodealkylation process comprising contacting, in the presence of a hydrogen-containing fluid, a fluid comprising a C.sub.9 + aromatic compound with a catalyst composition under a condition sufficient to effect the conversion of said C.sub.9 + aromatic compound to a C.sub.6 to C.sub.8 aromatic hydrocarbon wherein said catalyst composition is prepared by the steps comprising:
- (1) contacting a Y-zeolite with a metal compound, contemporaneously with phosphoric acid, under a condition sufficient to incorporate said metal compound into said Y-zeolite to form a modified zeolite and (2) treating said modified zeolite with steam under a condition sufficient to effect the conversion of said metal compound to its corresponding metal oxide wherein the metal of said metal compound is selected from the group consisting of chromium, cobalt, molybdenum, nickel, rhodium, palladium, platinum, tungsten, and combinations of any two or more thereof.
A process comprising contacting, in the presence of a hydrogen-containing fluid, a fluid comprising a C.sub.9 + aromatic compound with a catalyst composition under conditions effective for converting a C.sub.9 + aromatic compound to a C.sub.6 -C.sub.8 aromatic hydrocarbon wherein said catalyst composition is produced by the process comprising:
- (1) contacting a Y-zeolite with a solution containing a molybdenum-containing compound, a cobalt-containing compound, and phosphoric acid under a condition sufficient to incorporate said molybdenum-containing compound, cobalt-containing compound, and phosphoric acid into said zeolite to form a modified zeolite;
- and (2) steam-treating said modified zeolite.
A transalkylation process comprising contacting, in the presence of a hydrogen-containing fluid, a fluid comprising a C.sub.9 + aromatic compound with a catalyst composition under conditions effective for converting a C.sub.9 + aromatic compound to a C.sub.6 -C.sub.8 aromatic hydrocarbon wherein said catalyst composition is produced by the process comprising:
- (1) contacting a beta zeolite with a solution containing both a molybdenum-containing compound and a cobalt-containing compound under a condition sufficient to incorporate said molybdenum-containing compound and cobalt-containing compound into said zeolite to form a modified zeolite;
- and (2) steam-treating said modified zeolite.
