Abstract

Abstract Zeolite Beta is applied successfully as a catalyst for the alkylation of benzene (B) with ethylene (ET) to ethylbenzene (EB). Reaction conditions modify the performances and the lifetime of the catalysts. Under liquid phase operation, zeolite Beta shows any significant deactivation. However at lower reaction temperatures a decrease in both free acid sites and void channel volume is registered, due to carbonaceous compounds deposition.
