Title of Invention | A PROCESS FOR PREPARING ETHYLBENZENE |
---|---|
Abstract | The present invention relates to a process for preparing ethylbenzene using liquid phase alkylation and vapor phase transalkylation. The liquid phase alkylation reaction may be catalyzed by an acidic solid oxide, such as MCM-22, MCM-49 and MCM-56. The vapor phase transalkylation may be catalyzed by a medium-pore size zeolite such as ZSM-5. The process may be run continuously with the continuous introduction of fresh benzene feed containing at least 500 ppm of nonbenzene hydrocarbon impurities. The combined ethylbenzene product of these alkylation and transalkylation reactions has very low levels of impurities including xylene, hydrocarbons having 7 or less carbon atoms and hydrocarbons having 9 or more carbon atoms. |
