Alkylation of benzene with ethylene on nickel-containing amorphous and crystalline aluminosilicates

Article abstract of DOI:10.1007/BF00923091

1. The zeolite-containing catalysts ABFZ-3 and ABFZ-6 have a high activity in the alkylation of benzene with ethylene. 2. Amorphous and crystalline aluminosilicates that contain Ni (as Ni²⁺ and NiO) are polyfunctional catalysts for the alkylation of benzene with ethylene, and can direct the reaction toward the formation of predominantly sec-butylbenzene and ethylbenzene, or sec-butylbenzene and butenes.
