CATALYSIS Selective
dealkylation
Ti-containing silicalite zeolite microspheres having a diameter of 5-1000 microns are used as catalysts for aromatic hydrocarbon hydroxylation and olefin epoxidation (with HzOz used in both processes). The preparation of the zeolite is described.

Catalyst Feb. 10, 1986
An industrial method for selective dealkylation of 1,4dialkylbenzenes in a dialkylbenzene mixture is carried out in the presence of an ion-exchanged zeolite catalyst. The catalyst is prepared by treating Na+-ZSM-5 zeolite (NalAI = 0.95/l) (preparation given) with 8 wt.% Mg(OAc)z followed by drying and calcining to give MgO-Nat-ZSM-5 (MgO 20 wt.%.).

ZSM-22 zeolites are catalysts for selective formation of pdisubstituted aromatic hydrocarbons, by such reactions as dispropottionation, alkylation (e.g., with MeOH or CzH& crackingdealkylation and transalkylation. The p-isomers are formed in larger amounts than those observed under equilibrium-control conditions.

Monocarboxylic acids and esters and C4.,c (gasoline-range) hydrocarbons are produced by conversion of C,.,-alcohols with CO in the presence of Rh-free ZSM-5 zeolite (SiOz/AlzOz ratio = > 6:lj at > 1 atmosphere in the absence of a halide promoter. The process is especially suitable for the production of HOAC and MeOAc from MeOH; in addition CzH4 can be co-produced to prepare a suitable feedback for vinyl acetate manufacture.

Mar. 27, 1985 p-Dialkylbenzenes, useful as intermediates for p-cresol, hydroquinone and aromatic vinyl monomers (e.g., vinyltoluene, divinylbenzene), were prepared with high p-selectivity and high conversion rates by alkylation of monoalkylbenzenes with olefins in the presence of modified zeolites. The catalysts were prepared by treating proton-exchanged zeolites with heteropolyacids, e.g., 12tungstophosphoric acid, or their metal salts, drying and heating.

2,4-Toluenediamine, useful as diisocyanate precursor, is separated from 2,6-toluenediamine, and in some cases from other toluenediamines present in feed mixtures by contacting with a cationexchanged X-, Y-, or K-type zeolite adsorbent, and then desorbing the adsorbed diamine using a lower alcohol or amine.

2.4-Dinitrotoluene is separated from a mixture with 2,6dinitrotoluene by selective adsorption with an L-type zeolite containing K ions, an X-type zeolite containing Na, Ca, Ba or K ions, or a Y-type zeolite containing Ca, Ba, K, Li or Mg ions and subsequent desorption of the 2,4-dinitrotoluene with a Cs.5 alcohol, a ketone, an ester or PhNOz.

In separating fructose from its mixture with glucose in a solution containing Mg2+, on a Ca zeolite, the sugar solution was adjusted by adding CaC12 to Ca’+/Mg 2+ 40-4.5. The zeolite column could be used for a long period of time without degeneration of activity.
