Diethylbenzene is an important raw material for the conversion of divinyl benzene monomer. Conventionally, it is prepared from diacetophenone by reduction. It is also prepared by vapor phase alkylation of ethylbenzene with ethylene using zeolitic catalysts. The efficacy of dodecatungsotphosphoric acid (DTPA) supported on acid treated clay has been evaluated in the current work in the alkylation of ethylbenzene with 80% (w/w) ethanol. 15% (w/w) DTPA/K-10 clay was found to be an efficient and robust catalyst. The use of aqueous ethanol and a mixed C-8 stream lowers the cost of production. A kinetic model is developed by studying the important process parameters with 15% (w/w) DTPA/K-10 as the catalyst.

Ethylene is an important raw material for many petrochemical products and Diethyl ether (DEE) can be used as an alternative fuel. The efficacy of montmorillonite (K-10) and dodecatungestophosphoric acid (DTPA) supported on montmorillonite (DTPA/K-10), has been evaluated in the current work in the dehydration of dilute bio-ethanol (80%m/m). The dehydration of ethanol and cracking of diethyl ether were studied independently. 30% m/m DTPA/K-10 was found to be more active with 74% ethanol conversion and 92% ethylene selectivity at 250 degrees C in comparison with other acid catalysts used. The merit of the process lies in its use of dilute bio-ethanol, a new avenue for ethylene production from a non-petroleum feedstock. Kinetic interpretation has been made by studying the important process parameters by using 30%m/m DTPA/montmorillonite as the catalyst. The mechanism of the dehydration of ethanol reaction suggests that two types of sites are responsible. The dehydration of ethanol and cracking of diethyl ether are second order reactions with weak adsorption of species. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V.
