Abstract
The invention relates to a process for the alkylation of benzene with isopropanol (IPA) as alkylating agent, or blends of isopropanol and propylene, which comprises effecting said reaction completely in gaseous phase and in the presence of a catalytic system containing a zeolite belonging to the MTW family.
Claims18
A process for the alkylation of benzene with isopropanol, or a blend of isopropanol and propylene, the process comprising effecting the alkylation reaction under temperature and pressure conditions corresponding to complete gas phase of the reagents and at least partial liquid phase of the reaction products, in the presence of a catalytic system comprising a zeolite belonging to the MTW family.
A process for the alkylation of benzene with isopropanol, or a blend of isopropanol and propylene, the process comprising effecting the alkylation reaction under temperature and pressure conditions corresponding to complete gas phase of the reagents in the presence of a catalytic system comprising a zeolite belonging to the MTW family,
- wherein
- the zeolite is in a form bound with a ligand, and
- the ligand is selected from the group consisting of alumina, silica, a silico-aluminate, titania, zirconia, and clay.
