dc.description.abstract2,6-Dimethylnaphthalene is an important dimethylnaphthalene isomer which can be used in the production of polyethylene naphthalate. The novelty of this study is to reveal Langmuir-Hinshelwood and Eley-Rideal reaction rate equations for the methylation of naphthalene over Fe/ZSM-5 zeolite catalysts besides the proposed reaction rate equation. To investigate the kinetics and mechanisms of naphthalene methylation, the methylation experiments were carried out in a gas-solid catalytic fixed-bed reactor in the presence of Fe/ZSM-5 zeolite catalysts at two different temperatures (450 and 500 degrees C) and five different weight hourly space velocities (0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0 h(-1)). A naphthalene:methanol:1,2,4-trimethyl benzene mixture having a 1:3:10 molar ratio was used as a feed stream. The methylation products were identified by using GC-MS. For the methylation kinetics of naphthalene, the reaction rates depending on the naphthalene and methanol concentration were determined. Furthermore, the effects of temperature and weight hourly space velocity on the conversion of naphthalene, the selectivity of 2,6-dimethylnaphthalene, and the ratio of 2-methylnaphthalene/1-methylnaphthalene were determined. The results of this study demonstrate that the Langmuir-Hinshelwood reaction mechanism for naphthalene methylation is more compatible at 450 degrees C and the Eley-Rideal reaction mechanism at 500 degrees C. Moreover, in addition to 2,6-dimethylnaphthalene, other dimethylnaphthalene and tri-methylnaphthalene isomers were formed in the methylation of naphthalene. The conversion of naphthalene reached approximately 70%. Moreover, the highest selectivity of 2,6-dimethylnaphthalene was almost 40%. The ratios of 2-methylnaphthalene/1-methylnaphalene demonstrate that the methylation of naphthalene to 2-methynaphthalene is much higher than to 1-methynaphthalene.en_US
