Presentation Transcript

  1. Catalytic Production of Cumene • Consider our phenol + acetone process, illustrated below.

  2. Catalytic Production of Cumene • Is this a gas-phase, condensed-phase, or multi-phase reaction? • What is the mechanism for acid-catalyzed alkylation of benzene with propylene? • What reasonable rate expression can be derived from this mechanism? • What reaction conditions (reagent concentrations, pressures, temperatures) might be appropriate for such a process? • What reactor configurations might be appropriate for such a process? • What conversion targets are appropriate, and how will residual starting materials, products, and byproducts be handled?
