Open Access Alert: Procedia



“Even the just may sin with an open chest of gold before them” --  Latin Proverb

Procedia encompasses a number of interesting open access sources.  Many of them will interest anyone engaged in desulfurization research.  As such, they are good for full text browsing.  The easiest way to search for Procedia articles is to go to the ScienceDirect site (www.sciencedirect.com) and do an advanced search.

Here is a recent article …

Abstract
This study concerns thermodynamic and kinetic regularities of benzene alkylation with propylene and diisopropylbenzene transalkylation by investigating reaction mechanism. For each step, thermodynamic parameters, such as pre - exponential factor and activation energy were determined. Ab initio approach was used for this purpose. Also effects of solvation and ions formation were taken into account. Finally, comparative analysis of two processes was made.
1. Introduction
1.1 Background
Cumene is an important raw material in petrochemistry to obtain phenol and its co - product – acetone . Usually cumene is produced at the same facility that manufactures phenol. Its synthesis is based on the alkylation of benzene with propylene using a с id catalysts. The main technology now used for cumene producing is a process catalyzed by phosphoric acid loaded on ceyssatite patented by the Universal Oil Products Company (UOP Co.). AlCl3 is also chosen as the catalyst. However, such materials usually introduce various problems such as corrosion, harmful effects on the environment . Some processers used BF3, but it had controlling difficulties in comparison with AlCl, and the BF3 process requires higher temperature and pressure to operate. Since 1965, acid zeolite is of great interest for cumene manufacture, but only recently it has been commercialized by Dow, Mobil, CD Tech, UOP and Enichem. Despite that, zeolite catalysts were widely used because of their safety, easy deactivation by coking, short regeneration cycle, and hard reaction condition became problems. A new type of catalyst for this process – ionic liquids – was developed, but is not commercialized . In spite of new catalysts emergence, process with aluminum chloride stays actual for many cumene producers. It is necessary to increase cumene production, because nowadays demand for cumene rose up to 12 million tons in 2011 and keeps growing.
1 .2 Reaction
The alkylation reaction of benzene with propylene is carried out in the presence of Lewis acids. It is known that alkylation occurs through activation of the olefin by catalyst, and then activated complex react s with benzene and alkylbenzenes.
