Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
The present invention relates to a process for the hydrocatalytic treatment of a hydrocarbon feedstock which is a mixture of alkyl aromatics containing at least one di- or polymethyl benzene and an alkyl benzene selected from ethyl-benzene, methyl ethyl-benzene and propylbenzene by contacting the mixture at 300° to 500°C a pressure of 0, to 100 bars gauge and in the presence of hydrogen with a gallium containing aluminosilicate catalyst and recovering the desired product. The aluminosilicate has a silica to alumina ratio of between 10:1 and 100:1 on a molar bases. The xylene products are useful raw materials as such or for making the corresponding dicarboxylic acids.
