| Abstract: | Fe/Al-MCM-41 (Si/Al = 25, 50, 75 and 100) were synthesized. Their catalytic activity was evaluated towards benzylation of benzene with benzyl chloride in liquid phase. The catalytic activity of Fe/Al-MCM-41(25) was higher than the other catalysts. Diphenylmethane(DPM) was obtained as the major product with 100% selectivity and with 100% conversion of benzyl chloride under optimum condition. The effect of temperature and the feed ratio, on the activity of Fe/Al-MCM-41(25) and selectivity towards DPM was studied and a possible reaction mechanism was proposed. |
