title: Dehydroalkylation of toluene with ethane in a packed-bed membrane reactor with a bifunctional catalyst and a hydrogen-selective membrane.
abstract: The dehydroalkylation of toluene with ethane to form isomeric ethyltoluenes has been carried out in a packed-bed membrane reactor under mild conditions of 350 degrees C, where it is shown that ethyltoluene yields significantly increase with increasing sweep gas flow rate and pressure.
