The transformation of ethylbenzene has been studied over a ZSM-5-type catalyst in a riser simulator that mimics the operation of a fluidized-bed reactor. The study was conducted at 350, 375, 400, 450, and 500 °C for reaction times of 3, 5, 7, 10, 13, and 15 s. The effect of reaction conditions on the ratio of cracking to disproportionation products (C/D), the distribution of diethylbenzene (DEB) isomers (m-DEB and p-DEB), and the ratio of benzene/diethylbenzenes (B/DEB) are reported. The experimental results were modeled using quasi-steady-state approximation. Disproportionation was determined to dominate at low temperatures (350−400 °C), while cracking reaction becomes significant as higher temperatures (>400 °C). Thus, two mechanisms were postulated to represent the disappearance of ethylbenzene during the transformation reaction (one mechanism for low temperature, and another for the complete temperature range considered). Kinetic parameters that were used for the disappearance of ethylbenzene during t...
