Patent ID: 7563938

Claim:
An alkylated aromatic composition comprising a mixture of: (a) an alkylated aromatic hydrocarbon alkylation product wherein the alkylation reaction is conducted in the presence of an alkylation catalyst having a macropore structure comprising zeolite Y, and wherein the peak macropore diameter of the catalyst, measured by ASTM Test No. D 4284-03, is less than or equal to about 2000 angstroms and the cumulative pore volume of the catalyst at pore diameters less than or equal to about 500 angstroms, measured by ASTM Test No. D 4284-03, is less than or equal to about 0.30 milliliters per gram; and (b) an alkylated aromatic hydrocarbon alkylation product wherein the alkylation reaction is conducted in the presence of an alkylation catalyst having a macropore structure comprising mordenite zeolite having a silica to alumina molar ratio of about 50:1 to about 105:1 and wherein the peak macropore diameter of the catalyst, measured by ASTM Test No. D 4284-03, is less than or equal to about 900 angstroms and the cumulative pore volume of the catalyst at pore diameters less than or equal to about 500 angstroms, measured by ASTM Test No. D 4284-03, is less than or equal to about 0.30 milliliters per gram.
