Alkylation of Benzene by Methanol: Thermodynamics Analysis for Designing and Designing for Enhancing the Selectivity of Toluene and Para-Xylene

The process of benzene/methanol alkylation reaction was studied thermodynamically based on functional group contribution method of Benson. Results show that ortho -xylene (OX), Ethyl-benzene (EB) and tri-methylbenzene (TMB) are the main byproduct in alkylation of benzene by methanol and the suppress...
