Zeolites Beta, mordenite and Y were evaluated for their activity in transalkylation reaction of toluene with trimethylbenzenes. Zeolite Beta was found to possess the highest conversion in toluene-trimethylbenzene transalkylation as well as a higher stability in time-on-stream compared with mordenite and zeolite Y. The effect of Si/Al ratio in zeolite Beta was evaluated and it was found that transalkylation activity and xylene yields increase with decreasing Si/Al ratio. Zeolite Beta with the lowest Si/Al ratio of 12.5 (the highest concentration of active sites) exhibited the highest 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene (124TMB) conversion and maximum xylene yield. The highest xylene yield was obtained at optimum equimolar ratio (1:1) of 124TMB to toluene. With increasing 124TMB concentration in the feed, the conversion of 124TMB and xylene yield decreased while toluene conversion simultaneously increased.
