Methylation of Toluene To P-Xylene Using Zsm-5 Zeolite
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Applied Chemistry (IOSR-JAC) - Year 2018, Vol 11, Issue 2
Abstract
Toluene was methylated to para-xylene using ZSM-5 zeolite. The catalyst was modified by both compaction and depositing of phosphorus. The results show that modifying with phosphorus before compacting enhances para-xylene selectivity since by this treatment ortho- and meta-xylenes easily isomerised to paraxylene.
