Abstract: Process for the catalytic dehydrogenation of a C2 or C3 alkyl aromatic in which a feedstock containing the alkyl aromatic and steam is supplied into the inlet of a tubular reactor containing a dehydrogenation catalyst. Within the reactor, the feedstock flows through at least a portion of the reactor along a spiral flow path extending longitudinally of the reactor. The resulting vinyl aromatic product is then recovered from a downstream or outlet section of the reactor. The spiral flow path through which the feedstock is passed is located at least adjacent the inlet side of the reactor and at least a portion of the spiral flow path contains a particulate dehydrogenation catalyst. The spiral flow path may extend throughout a major portion of the elongated tubular reactor and may contain a particulate dehydrogenation catalyst in a substantial portion there. The feedstock containing the alkyl aromatic and steam is supplied into a plurality of tubular reactors located within the interior of a dehydrogenation reactor vessel and is arranged in a parallel relationship in which the tubular reactors are spaced laterally from one another and from the interior wall of the reaction vessel.

Abstract: An alkylation/transalkylation process involving vapor phase alkylation of a benzene feedstock in a multi-stage alkylation zone having a plurality of series connected catalyst beds containing a pentasil aromatic alkylation catalyst, such as silicalite, coupled with intermediate separation and recirculation steps and liquid phase transalkylation over a transalkylation catalyst comprising a molecular sieve having a pore size greater than the pore size of the silicalite. The benzene containing feedstock is supplied to the multi-stage alkylation reaction zone along with a C.sub.2 -C.sub.4 alkylating agent operated under temperature and pressure conditions to maintain the benzene in the gas phase. Alkylated product is recovered from the alkylation zone and supplied to a benzene recovery zone for the separation of the benzene from the alkylation product. Benzene from the benzene recovery zone is recycled to the reaction zone. A higher boiling bottom fraction containing a mixture of monoalkylated and polyalkylated aromatic components is supplied to a secondary separation zone from which a monoalkylated aromatic component, e.g. ethylbenzene, is recovered overhead with a heavier polyalkylated aromatic recovered as a bottom fraction. The bottom fraction may be applied to a tertiary separation zone.

Abstract: A process is provided for the disproportionation of a toluene feedstock over a metal promoted mordenite catalyst. The catalyst may contain between 1.0-1.5 weight percent nickel. The toluene feedstock is supplied to the reaction zone and into contact with the catalyst. The reaction zone is operated under disproportionation conditions. During disproportionation, heavy aromatic reformates, in concentration of at least 4 weight percent, are introduced into the reaction zone. Disproportionation product containing benzene and xylene is continuously withdrawn. The addition of the heavy aromatic reformate does not adversely affect toluene conversion rates, product selectivity to benzene, catalyst activity or catalyst life. Moreover, production of xylenes increase at the expense of production of heavies.
