Abstract

The reactions of m-xylene are conducted over all known zeolites with intersecting medium and large pores (MCM-22, NU-87, CIT-1, SSZ-33, SSZ-26) and the results compared to those from large (SSZ-24, ZSM-12, zeolite beta, zeolite L) and medium (ZSM-5, EU-1) pore zeolites. Each of the materials MCM-22, NU-87 and CIT-1/SSZ-33/SSZ-26 reveals a unique reaction behavior in terms of the p-xyleneo-xylene and isomerization/disproportionation ratios, the distribution of formed trimethylbenzenes and the rate of deactivation. The reaction activities and selectivities of MCM-22 and CIT-1/SSZ-33/SSZ-26 are somewhat like medium and large pore zeolites, respectively, as is expected from their crystal structures. NU-87 displays a lower p-xyleneo-xylene ratio and a higher turnover frequency than predicted from the crystal structure.
