A process for making styrene is disclosed that includes providing toluene, a co-feed, and a C1 source to a reactor containing a catalyst, reacting toluene with the C1 source in the presence of the catalyst and the co-feed to form a product stream containing ethylbenzene and styrene. The co-feed can be selected from the group of water, carbon monoxide, hydrogen, and combinations thereof. |

1. A process for making styrene comprising:
providing toluene, a co-feed, and a C1 source to a reactor comprising a catalyst comprising X zeolite and at least one promoter selected from the group consisting of Ce, Cu, P, Cs, B, Co, Ga, and combinations thereof, wherein the C1 source is selected from the group consisting of methanol, formaldehyde formalin, trioxane, methylformcel, paraformaldehyde, methylal, dimethyl ether, and combinations thereof; and reacting toluene with the C1 source in the presence of the catalyst and the co-feed to form a product stream comprising ethylbenzene and styrene; wherein the co-feed is selected from the group consisting of carbon monoxide, hydrogen, and combinations thereof. |
