ALKYLATION OF ORGANIC AROMATIC COMPOUNDS USING BETA ZEOLITE CATALYST

摘要

A process for the alkylation of organic aromatic compounds by contacting the organic aromatic compound and a C2 to C20 olefin in a distillation column reactor containing a beta zeolite prepared as a catalytic distillation structure in a distillation reaction zone to concurrently react the olefin and aromatic in said fixed bed and fractionating the resultant alkylated organic product from the unreacted materials. The catalytic distillation structure provides both the catalytic sites and the distillation sites.
