Integrated process for the preparation of cumene which comprises dehydrogenating a stream of propane to propylene in a dehydrogenation unit and sending the stream leaving the dehydrogenation unit, containing 25-40% by weight of propylene, to an alkylation unit together with a stream of benzene with a molar ratio benzene/propylene ranging from 8 to 10. The alkylation product is distilled in a first distillation column to recover a light fraction, essentially consisting of propane which is recycled to the dehydrogenation, and a heavy fraction which is distilled in a second distillation column to recover non-reacted benzene at the head, recycled to the alkylation unit, and cumene with a purity of over 99%, at the tail. |
