Fe-MFI Zeolite Catalyzed C-3 Alkylation of Benzene
Benzene alkylation with isopropanol has been carried out over ZSM-5 and Fe-MFI zeolites. It was observed that Fe-MFI zeolite showed a better selectivity for cumene (isopropylbenzene) and i/(i+n) propylbenzene ratio. This can be attributed to the acidity characteristic of the zeolite. The effects of variation in reaction conditions such as temperature, mole ratio of benzene/isopropanol and WHSV on the activity and selectivity of Fe-MFI are discussed.
