Abstract: The multiple zeolite catalyst is a catalytic composition used to convert alkylaromatic hydrocarbons to BTX, particularly to commercially valuable xylenes. The catalyst is formed by mixing at least two zeolites selected from mordenite, beta zeolite, ZSM-5, ZSM-11, ZSM-12, ZSM-22, ZSM-23, MFI topology zeolite, NES topology zeolite, EU-1, MAPO-36, SAPO-5, SAPO-11, SAPO-34, and SAPO-41, and adding at least one metal component selected from Group VI of the Periodic Table of the Elements. The two zeolites have different physical and chemical characteristics, such as pore size and acidity. An exemplary catalyst includes mordenite, ZSM-5, and 3 wt % molybdenum. The multiple zeolite catalyst may further be used to convert toluene to mixed xylene isomers, particularly with a ZSM-5:mordenite ratio of 2:1 by weight.
