摘要: Abstract The liquid-phase dehydration of 1-phenylethanol over mordenite-like zeolites, with different Si/Al ratios, was studied at 363 K using cyclohexane as solvent. It determined that catalyst activity and selectivity greatly depended on the ratio. non-dealuminated mordenite showed lowest activity, dehydrating mainly to α-methylbenzyl ether via an intermolecular mechanism. Instead, intramolecular into styrene observed dealuminated samples. Changes in catalytic performance ratio explained basis of: (1) acid site density; (2) relative amount strong sites respect weak ones; (3) accessibility sites.
