The kinetics of the dimerization of alpha-methylstyrene in the presence of high-silica zeolite HNaY has been studied, and a nine-stage scheme of the monomer conversion has been developed. Analysis of the kinetic models developed in the form of the Langmuir-Hinshelwood relationships and in terms of the mass action law has shown that the first model more adequately describes the experimental data. The numerical values of kinetic and adsorption parameters are represented. DOI: 10.1134/S0965544112060047
