[EN] TNU-9 is a medium pore zeolite with a complex tridimensional channel system. Its catalytic properties have been studied in some reactions that involve the BTX fraction, such as benzene and toluene alkylation with methanol, ethanol or isopropanol. These reactions use in practice medium pore zeolites such as ZSM-5 (MFI) or MCM-22 (MWW), and the selectivities obtained with TNU-9 are compared and analyzed from the point of view of the zeolite structure and pore topology, as well as from its possible industrial application. For benzene alkylation to give ethylbenzene (EB), TNU-9 is an active and selective catalyst with selectivities to EB much higher than ZSM-5 and close to those of the ind…
