Abstract
AROMATIC HYDROCARBONS ARE DELKYLATED IN THE PRESENCE OF STEAM AND A NICKEL-BERYLLIUM OXIDE CATALYST HAVING A NICKEL CONTENT OF FROM 5 TO 80 WEIGHT PERCENT. THE CATALYST IS PREPARED BY IMPREGNATING BASIC BERYLLIUM CARBONATE, BERYLLIUM OXIDE, OR BERYLLIUM HYDROXIDE WITH AN AQUEOUS SOLUTION OF A NICKEL COMPOUND SUCH AS NICKEL NITRATE, DRYING THE RESULTING PRODUCT, CALCINING IT AT ABOUT 500*C. IN A STREAM OF INERT GAS, THEN PELLETIZING IT, AND REDUCING THE RESULTANT POWDER WITH HYDROGEN. THE DEALKYLATION IS PREFERABLY CARRIED OUT AT A TEMPERATURE OF 350-500*C. THE STEAM AND AROMATIC HYDROCARBON ARE RESPECTIVELY EMPLOYED IN A MOLAR RATIO OF ABOUT 3-19 TO 1. THE DEALKYLATION IS PREFERABLY CARRIED OUT A SPACE VELOCITY OF ABOUT 1500 TO 6000 HR.-1 BASED ON THE TOTAL VOLUME OF STEAM AND AROMATIC HYDROCARBON VAPOR, AND AT A LIQUID HOURLY SPACE VELOCITY OF THE AROMATIC HYDROCARBON OF ABOUT 0.8 TO 4.3. SURPRISINGLY, DEALKYLATION OCCURS WITH LITTLE DISINTEGRATION OF THE BENZENE RING.
