METHOD TO ADJUST 2-PHENYL CONTENT OF AN ALKYLATION PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF LINEAR ALKYL BENZENE

摘要

A process is presented for controlling the output of monoalkylated benzenes. The alkylbenzenes are linear alkylbenzenes and the process controls the 2-phenyl content of the product stream. The control of the process to generate a linear alkylbenzene with a 2-phenyl content within a desired range by recycling a portion of the effluent from the alkylation reactor to the inlet of the reactor.
