Abstract

Abstract A zeolite catalyst composition suitable for para-selective conversion of substituted aromatic compounds, e.g. conversion of aromatic compounds to dialkylbenzene compounds rich in the 1,4-dialkylbenzene isomer. Such a composition comprises a zeolite catalyst component having a silica to alumina mole ratio of at least 12 and a constraint index of about 1 to 12, and a minor amount, e.g., at least 0.25 weight percent of the elements iron and/or cobalt and optionally the element phosphorus, said elements being present in the form of their oxides.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim 146 words
A process for para-selective alkylation, transalkylation or disproportionation of a substituted aromatic compound to form a dialkylbenzene compound mixture rich in the 1,4-dialkylbenzene isomer, said process comprising contacting said aromatic compound with a crystalline zeolite catalyst composition at a temperature of between about 250° C. and about 750° C. and a pressure within the approximate range of 10 5 N/m 2 to 10 7 N/m 2 , said catalyst comprising a zeolite characterized by a silica to alumina mole ratio of at least 12 and a constraint index within the approximate range of 1 to 12, said catalyst having incorporated thereon at least about 0.25 percent by weight of a metal selected from iron, cobalt and combinations thereof, and at least about 0.25 weight percent of the element phosphorus, said metal and said phorphorus both being present in said catalyst in the form of their oxides.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 146 words
A process for para-selective alkylation, transalkylation or disproportionation of a substituted aromatic compound to form a dialkylbenzene compound mixture rich in the 1,4-dialkylbenzene isomer, said process comprising contacting said aromatic compound with a crystalline zeolite catalyst composition at a temperature of between about 250° C. and about 750° C. and a pressure within the approximate range of 10 5 N/m 2 to 10 7 N/m 2 , said catalyst comprising a zeolite characterized by a silica to alumina mole ratio of at least 12 and a constraint index within the approximate range of 1 to 12, said catalyst having incorporated thereon at least about 0.25 percent by weight of a metal selected from iron, cobalt and combinations thereof, and at least about 0.25 weight percent of the element phosphorus, said metal and said phorphorus both being present in said catalyst in the form of their oxides.
