The influence of the acidity, reaction temperature, run duration, feed rate (WHSV) and molar ratio of the reactants on conversion of toluene and selectivity for 4-tertbutyl toluene was studied. Among the isomers formed during the reaction, the para-isomer was the predominant one, followed by the meta-isomer, while no ortho-isomer was found in the products due to steric factors. 4-tert-Butyl toluene selectivity decreases at higher temperatures, while going through a maximum in the 413-433 K temperature range. Zeolite HY with a high silica to alumina ratio (SiO2/Al2O3 = 80), that has strong acidity, but lower acid site density, possesses high activity for toluene conversion, high alkylation selectivity and also high para-selectivity. The improved para-selectivity of high silica HY zeolite is attributed to the low isomerization activity that results in the suppression of the secondary isomerization of 4-tert-butyl toluene. Both alkylation and selectivity are higher with feed mixtures containing a lower fraction of tert-butyl alcohol. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V.

It is successfully synthesized from renewable carbohydrates using mesoporous AlSBA-15 catalysts under biphasic conditions. Fine tuning of the catalyst acidity is important to drive the reaction to give good yields of furan compound. Al-SBA-15 catalysts with different Si/Al ratios were prepared and characterized by XRD, Al-27 MASNMR, SEM, TEM, N-2 sorption, ICP-OES and TPD of ammonia. Results show that part of aluminium is substituted into tetrahedral positions. The catalyst with lower acid site density but medium to strong acid strength favours selective formation of HMF. Under the optimized conditions, HMF selectivity was as high as 88% at 59 mol% conversion of fructose. Leaching of part of aluminium occurs under hydrothermal conditions, if solvent mixtures containing water are used, while activity can be retained if DMSO is used as solvent. (c) 2013 Elsevier Inc.
