The transalkylation reaction of di‐isopropylbenzene with benzene and substituted benzenes over sulphate‐treated superacidic zironia catalyst was studied. The catalyst was found to show comparable activity to that of zeolite and acid‐treated clay (Filtrol‐24). However, it was found to deactivate because of the heavy compounds in the starting reaction mixture and coke formation.
