Abstract
The problem of the high concentration of n–propylbenzene as undesirable component of the product mixture formed during liquid-phase alkylation of benzene with propylene ios investigated. Monitoring of alkylation set-up (Omskiy Kauchuk JSC) was carried out; technological parameters affecting the concentration of n–propylbenzene were revealed. A mathematical model of alkylation was worked out. A computer-based modeling system Alkylation involving this model was developed in Borland Delphi 7; it allows calculating the composition of product flows under variations of the most importnat technolgoical parameters of reactor operation (temperature, molar ratio of benzene to propylene, volume rate of raw material input).
