2,6-Dimethylnaphthalene (2,6-DMN) is one of the crucial intermediates for the synthesis of polybutylenenaphthalate and polyethylene naphthalate (PEN). The complex synthesis procedure and the high cost of 2,6-DMN production significantly reduce the commercialisation of PEN even though PEN demonstrates superior properties compared with polyethylene terephthalate. 2,6-DMN can be produced by methylation of 2-methylnaphthalene (2-MN) and/or naphthalene, disproportionation of 2-MN, and/or isomerisation of dimethylnaphthalenes (DMNs). In this study, synthesis of 2,6-triad DMN isomers consisting of 2,6-DMN, 1,6-DMN, and 1,5-DMN have been investigated with the disproportionation of 2-MN over unmodified and Zr-modified mesoporous MCM-41 zeolite catalysts. In contrast to other DMN isomers, both 1,5-DMN and 1,6-DMN can be effectively isomerised to be profitable 2,6-DMN. The disproportionation of 2-MN experiments were carried out in a catalytic fixed-bed reactor in the presence of 1?g of catalyst at a temperature range of 350–500?°C and weight hourly space velocity between 1 to 3?h?1. The results demonstrated that mesoporous MCM-41 zeolite catalyst has a selective pore shape for 2,6-triad DMN isomers, which may allow a decrease in the production cost of 2,6-DMN. Additionally, 2,6-DMN was successfully synthesised by the disproportionation of 2-MN over MCM-41 zeolite catalyst. Furthermore, both the conversion of 2-MN and the selectivity of 2,6-DMN were considerably enhanced by the Zr impregnation on MCM-41.
