Abstract: To investigate the effect of operational parameter and transport phenomena on para-xylene production from toluene methylation with methanol, a fixed bed tubular reactor packed with Al-HMS-5 mesoporous catalyst was numerically studied. A mechanistic Longmuir–Hinshelwood-type kinetic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.1c05817
Abstract: Toluene methylation using methanol offers a high potential molecular engineering process to produce p-xylene (PX) based on shape-selective catalysts. To further improve the process economics, a novel short process was proposed by reducing the high-energy… read more here.
