Abstract
The transalkylation of toluene with trimethyl benzene has been studied over deactionated type L (HL), Mordenite (HM), Omega (HΩ) and Erionite (HE) zeolites. Among the zeolites, HL was found to be most active followed by HM, HΩand HE. Although, HL is an extremely active catalyst but undergoes rapid deactivation. Incorporation of nickel in HL zeolite has improved the overall activity and stability of the catalyst. The influence of various process parameters such as temperature, contact time and hydrogen/HC ratio on the activity of NiHL has been investigated. The bifunctional nature of metal zeolites as represented by hydrogenation function of metal as well as surface acidity of zeolite has been established.
