Abstract
Lithium modified molecular sieves with different structures (X, Y, ZSM-5 and AlPO4-5) were studied as catalysts for oxidative methylation of toluene with methane. LiX zeolite was the most active catalyst for attaining best yields of ethylbenzene and styrene. The effects of basicity, crystallinity and type of structure were examined.
