Abstract

MSN and SiO2 catalyst were investigated on side chain toluene alkylation with methanol reaction. Characterization of the catalyst were carried out by XRD, N2 physisorption analysis, FTIR spectroscopy. A pyrrole adsorption FTIR study reveals shifting of perturbed NH stretching increasing slightly in MSN compared to SiO2 catalyst revealed that MSN possessed higher basic sites than SiO2. N2 adsorption desorption isotherm analysis showed that MSN possessed higher surface area than SiO2 as well as increased the amount of mesopores in catalyst. The catalytic side chain toluene alkylation with methanol reaction was conducted in the range of 523K-673K under atmospheric pressure. MSN exhibits the highest catalytic performance compared to SiO2 catalyst.
