ABSTRACT:
Ethylbenzene is produced from benzene and ethylene in an alkylation reactor wherein the feedstocks also contain propylbenzenes and/or components that produce propylbenzene. Polyethylbenzenes are also produced in the process. The ethylbenzene product and unreacted benzene are separated and then the propylbenzenes are separated from the polyethylbenzenes by distillation. The propylbenzenes are destroyed in a vapor-phase reactor and the polyethylbenzenes are transalkylated with benzene in a liquid or partial liquid phase at a lower temperature.
