摘要:
A process for making styrene in a pre-existing facility including an infrastructure capable of producing styrene, wherein the infrastructure includes at least one dehydrogenation unit. The process includes coupling an alkylation unit including an alkylation reactor to the infrastructure and contacting toluene with a C1 source in the presence of a first catalyst and a co-feed in the alkylation reactor to form a first product stream comprising styrene and ethylbenzene. The styrene and ethylbenzene from the first product stream are routed for further processing to a portion of the pre-existing facility.

A method is disclosed of preparing a catalyst, including contacting a substrate with at least one solution including a first promoter being Cs and at least one solution including a second promoter. The contact subjects the substrate to the addition of the first and second promoters, thereby forming the catalyst comprising the first and second promoters. In the method disclosed, the second promoter is capable of undergoing a redox reaction.

A process for making styrene is disclosed that includes reacting toluene with a C1 source and a co-feed in the presence of a catalyst in a reactor to form a first product stream comprising styrene, ethylbenzene, carbon monoxide, and hydrogen; separating the hydrogen and carbon monoxide from the first product stream to form a second stream; separating the hydrogen from the second stream to form a third stream comprising hydrogen and a fourth stream comprising carbon monoxide; wherein the fourth stream is recycled to the reactor and forms at least a portion of the co-feed.

An alkylation catalyst having a zeolite catalyst component and a binder component providing mechanical support for the zeolite catalyst component is disclosed. The binder component is an ion-modified binder that can include metal ions selected from the group consisting of Co, Mn, Ti, Zr, V, Nb, K, Cs, Ga, B, P, Rb, Ag, Na, Cu, Mg, Fe, Mo, Ce, and combinations thereof. The metal ions reduce the number of acid sites on the zeolite catalyst component. The metal ions can range from 0.1 to 50 wt % based on the total weight of the ion-modified binder. Optionally, the ion-modified binder is present in amounts ranging from 1 to 80 wt % based on the total weight of the catalyst.
