Abstract: The shape selectivity for the alkylation of toluene with ethanol by varying Si/Al ratios of HZSM-5 and DAI HZSM-5 zeolites was studied. The results show that p-ethyltoluene selectivity increases with the zeolite Si/Al ratio increase. By treating HZSM-5 zeolite with SiCl4 vapor, the aluminium atoms were removed, indicating that the surface is deficient in aluminium obviously. At a high temperature and within short time, especially, HZSM-5 zeolites treated by SiCl4 showed obviously a higher p-selectivity, but the activity had no clear change.

Key words: ZSM-5 zeolite. Shape selectivity, Dealumination, Alkylation
