摘要:
A process for the selective alkylation of monoalkylbenzene into dialkylbenzenes wherein the para isomer of the disubstituted product is present in a concentration greater than in a thermodynamic equilibrium is provided. The method comprises passing the monoalkylbenzene and an alkylating agent capable of methylation. ethylation or propylation through a reaction zone containing an unmodified crystalline silica catalyst of the silicalite type having the monoclinic symmetry.

摘要:
Catalytic dehydrogenation of alkyl- or dialkyl-aromatic hydrocarbons such as ethylbenzene or ethyltoluene to vinyl aromatic hydrocarbons is achieved by passing the aromatic hydrocarbons on a crystalline silica which has been calcined under an inert atmosphere and which contains from about 0.05 to about 1 weight percent of an alkali metal oxide such as sodium oxide. In the preparation of the crystalline silica, limited washing of the crystalline silica precursor is performed to obtain an amount of alkali metal oxide remaining in the crystalline silica between about 0.05 and about 1 weight %.
摘要:
A process and apparatus for alkylating aromatic compounds with silicalite alkylation catalysts in the presence of an effective amount of water which extends the cycle length of the reaction by decreasing the rate of activity loss of the catalyst and decreases the production of unwanted by-products.
摘要:
A process for the production of vinyltoluene, comprising the steps of: producing a crude vinyltoluene product by the catalytic dehydrogenation of ethyltoluene; removing compounds from the crude vinyltoluene product which have a higher molecular weight than vinyltoluene to form a prepurified crude vinyltoluene product; and fractionally distilling the prepurified crude vinyltoluene product in a distillation apparatus to recover purified vinyltoluene. The higher molecular weight compounds removed are compounds which foster the conversion of vinyltoluene into cross-linked polymer. The compounds removed preferably have more than 11 carbon atoms. In one embodiment, the step of removing higher molecular weight compounds comprises condensing a vaporous crude vinyltoluene product to form a crude vinyltoluene solution, and subjecting the crude vinyltoluene solution to flash distillation to form a vaporous prepurified crude vinyltoluene product. Optionally, the prepurified crude vinyltoluene in the distillation apparatus may include a polymerization inhibitor.

.Disclosed is a process for the production of highly aromatic reformates, having a minimum of nonaromatic material, in high yield from a naphtha feed fraction by high-severity catalytic reforming, using a halogen-promoted reforming catalyst. The process comprises reforming the naphtha feed under reforming conditions of high severity in a plurality of sequentially arranged reaction zones in which the concentration of the halogen component of the reforming catalyst is adjusted to provide a minimal hydrocracking activity relative to the other reforming reactions to the catalyst in the first reaction zones, and an enhanced hydrocracking activity to the catalyst in the last reaction zones. The reformates produced according to this process are particularly useful in the blending of high aromatic content gasolines and/or in the production of high purity aromatic hydrocarbons.
