Enhanced para-Xylene Selectivity in the Toluene Alkylation Reaction at Ultralow Contact Time

Dramatic improvements in the para-xylene selectivity of the toluene alkylation reaction can be effected by operating the catalytic reaction at ultralow contact time. Unexpectedly, the rate of alkylation is sustained, while unwanted side reactions are suppressed. By demonstrating that contact time di...

description Dramatic improvements in the para-xylene selectivity of the toluene alkylation reaction can be effected by operating the catalytic reaction at ultralow contact time. Unexpectedly, the rate of alkylation is sustained, while unwanted side reactions are suppressed. By demonstrating that contact time directly influences the fate of para-xylene, which is known to form and diffuse preferentially within the zeolite catalyst, we conclude that external mass transfer is a key parameter in controlling selectivity. Even non-optimized catalysts can be made to achieve near-perfect selectivity, without sacrificing conversion.
