Abstract

Xylenes are produced by passing a charge comprising C8 acylic hydrocarbons with o without C4 hydrocarbons, e.g. isobutane, at 510-594 DEG C. and pressures up to atmospheric over a catalyst of eta-alumina containing 15-25% of chromium oxide, the alumina base being obtained by the dehydration of an alumina hydrate containing at least 60% beta-trihydrate. The catalyst may contain alkali metal equivalent to 0.6-1.5% of Na2O. The charge may comprise 2,2,4-trimethyl substituted C5 hydrocarbon chains which yield mainly p-xylene and/or diisobutylenes which may be obtained by the dimerisation of iso-C4 hydrocarbons separated from the reaction product.ALSO:A dehydrogenation catalyst comprises eta-alumina and 15-25% of chromium oxide with or without 0,6-1,5% of sodium calculated as Na2O or 0,9-2,3% of potassium calculated as K2O. The alumina base is prepared by the deyhdration of an alumina hydrate containing at least 60% of beta-trihydrate. Before incorporation of the chromium oxide, the dehydrated base may be steam treated to give a surface area of 100-300 m.2/g. The catalyst may be prepared by heating the base which has been soaked in chromic acid and sodium chromate.
