Reactions of m-xylene were studied in a fixed-bed type micropulse reactor over cation-exchanged dealuminated mordenite and zeolite Y catalysts. Over H-mordenite catalysts higher catalyst pretreatment temperature as well as dealumination resulted in the increase of the formation of disproportionation product. Ba2+- and Mg2+-exchanged mordenite catalysts showed the shape selectivity in the disproportionation reaction of m-xylene, that is, the formation of trimethylbenzene decreasing sharply as the degree of cation exchange increased.
