Abstract
Using chloroaluminate ionic liquid as the catalyst,cyclohexylbenzene was synthesized by the alkylation of cyclohexene and benzene.Chloroaluminate ionic liquid catalyst possessed good activity,but AlCl3 in ionic liquid was easy to be hydrolyzed,which resulted in deactivation of the catalyst.Ionic liquid was regenerated by adding AlCl3 and zeolite.The results showed that the regenerated catalyst could be used repeatedly for 3 times,and the yield of cyclohexylbenzene maintained above 70%.Ionic liquid could be repeatedly regenerated.

The Pd/Hβ binary catalyst was prepared by the impregnation method and was used for the hydroalkylation of benzene to cyclohexylbenzene. The effects of reaction temperature, reaction time, hydrogen pressure, Hβ acidity, and metal loading were investigated. The results indicated that the conversion of benzene and the selectivity for cyclohexylbenzene approached 24.3% and 88.0%, respectively, under the conditions of 2.5 MPa H2, 200 ℃, and 3 h. The preferable balance between metal active sites and acidic sites in catalyst was the key to the hydroalkylation of benzene. Moreover, the mechanism of the reaction was discussed.
