The present invention is directed to novel alkylated aromatic
compositions, zeolite catalyst compositions and processes for making the
same. The catalyst compositions comprise zeolite Y and mordenite zeolite
having a controlled macropore structure. The present invention is also
directed to the preparation of the catalyst compositions and their use in
the preparation of novel alkylated aromatic compositions. The catalyst
compositions of the present invention exhibit reduced deactivation rates
during the alkylation process, thereby increasing the life of the
catalysts.
