Description
Summary:In this paper, ZnFe 2 O 4 nanomaterial synthesized in different solvents by hydrothermal method was used as catalyst for the benzylation of p ‐xylene. ZnFe 2 O 4 catalyst was characterized by XRD, EDX, SEM and nitrogen adsorption/desorption isotherms. The influence of various parameters in the benzylation of p ‐xylene such as the Fe content of the prepared materials, the ratio molar of p ‐xylene/benzyl chloride, the catalyst dosage, and the temperature was investigated. The relationship between adsorption kinetics and reaction kinetics of p ‐xylene benzylation over ZnFe 2 O 4 nanoparticles was discussed. The results indicated that ZnFe 2 O 4 catalyst synthesized in ethylene glycol (ZFO‐EG) showed high conversation for the benzylation of p ‐xylene. The reusability of the ZFO‐EG catalyst was also investigated.
