Abstract:
Processes for transalkylation of aromatic hydrocarbons is disclosed. The process includes introducing a feed stream comprising aromatic hydrocarbon compounds to a transalkylation zone. A water source is introduced to the transalkylation zone, the water source being in an amount to provide about 80 to about 120 wppm of water based upon the mass of the feed stream. The feed stream is contacted with a transalkylation catalyst in the transalkylation zone under transalkylation conditions comprising a transalkylation temperature of about 130° C. to about 230° C. in the presence of the water to provide a transalkylation reaction effluent.

Claim (Index 13):
A process for transalkylating aromatic hydrocarbon compounds, the process comprising:\n contacting benzene and an olefin in an alkylation zone under alkylation conditions in the presence of an alkylation catalyst to produce an alkylation product comprising benzene, linear monoalkylbenzenes and heavy alkylbenzenes; separating the alkylation product to provide a monoalkylbenzene rich stream and a heavy alkylbenzene rich stream; introducing a feed stream comprising a benzene rich stream from the alkylation zone and the heavy alkylbenzene rich stream to a transalkylation zone; introducing a water source to the transalkylation zone, the water source being in an amount to provide about 80 to about 120 wppm of water based upon the mass of the feed stream; contacting the feed stream with a catalyst in the transalkylation zone under transalkylation conditions comprising a transalkylation temperature of from about 130\u00b0 C. to about 230\u00b0 C. including the presence of water to provide a transalkylation reaction effluent; and wherein the deactivation rate of the transalkylation catalyst is less than 0.2 wt. %/hr and the conversion of heavy alkylbenzene is greater than 50 wt. %.
