Catalytic synthesis of cumene from benzene and acetone

The reaction of benzene hydroalkylation with acetone on bifunctional catalysts has been studied and the principal features of the process have been revealed, wherein the catalysts contain a copper oxide-copper chromite binary system as a hydrogenating component and BEA, MOR, FAU, or MFI zeolite as a...

Description
Summary:The reaction of benzene hydroalkylation with acetone on bifunctional catalysts has been studied and the principal features of the process have been revealed, wherein the catalysts contain a copper oxide-copper chromite binary system as a hydrogenating component and BEA, MOR, FAU, or MFI zeolite as an alkylating component. It has been found that the use of the catalyst based on the mixed copper-chromium oxide and mordenite, running the process at 150°C and 3 MPa, and feedstock dilution with benzene (C 6 H 6 : C 3 H 6 O = 9: 1) facilitate increasing of the yield of cumene as a main product.
