Patent ID: 8435909

Claim:
A dual-zeolite catalyst for the production of ethylbenzene, consisting essentially of: a first zeolite and a second zeolite selected from the group of zeolites consisting of mordenite, beta, ZSM-5, ZSM-11, ZSM-12, ZSM-22, ZSM-23, MFI topology zeolite, NES topology zeolite, EU-1, SAPO-5, SAPO-34, SAPO-11 and MAPO-36, the second zeolite being a different member of the group from the first zeolite; and an uncalcined alumina binder binding the first and second zeolites together, wherein a ratio by weight of the first zeolite to the second zeolite to the uncalcined alumina binder is 1:1:1, the first zeolite, the second zeolite and the uncalcined alumina binder being homogeneously mixed.
