Transalkylation of Toluene with 1,2,4-Trimethylbenzene over Large Pore Zeolites (2017)
Journal Article
Chansai, S., Garforth, A., Zholobenko, V., Almulla, F., & Hill, P. (2017). Transalkylation of Toluene with 1,2,4-Trimethylbenzene over Large Pore Zeolites. Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research, 9799 -9808. https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.iecr.7b01388

Using industrially relevant operating parameters, the transalkylation of 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene (TMB) with toluene was studied. The effect of acidity and structure, increased reaction pressure, and very low levels of Pt impregnation have been investi...

Selective Toluene Disproportionation to Produce Para-Xylene over Modified ZSM-5 (2017)
Journal Article
Zholobenko, V. (2017). Selective Toluene Disproportionation to Produce Para-Xylene over Modified ZSM-5. Chemical Engineering Transactions, 57, https://doi.org/10.3303/CET1757152

Industrial demand for p-xylene has been increasing in recent years and the major production is by toluene disproportionation. This research studied the effect of crystal size and the modification by silica deposition on the surface of the zeolite. Sh...

Transalkylation of Toluene with 1, 2, 4-Trimethylbenzene over (2017)
Journal Article
Almulla, F., Zholobenko, V., Waters, J. . P., & Garforth, A. (2017). Transalkylation of Toluene with 1, 2, 4-Trimethylbenzene over. Chemical Engineering Transactions, 57, https://doi.org/10.3303/CET1757158

The catalytic activity, selectivity to xylenes and time-on-stream stability were investigated in the transalkylation of toluene with 1, 2, 4-trimethylbenzene. The catalytic tests were carried out in a fixed bed reactor over zeolite Beta (Si/Al = 12.5... Read More about Transalkylation of Toluene with 1, 2, 4-Trimethylbenzene over.
