ABSTRACT:
A process for the disproportionation of a toluene feedstock containing ethylbenzene over an aluminum deficient mordenite catalyst. The mordenite catalyst has a silica/alumina mole ratio of at least 30. The feedstock contains at least 5 wt. % ethylbenzene. Hydrogen is supplied to the disproportionation reactor zone along with the toluene feedstock.
