The catalytic properties of zeolite β in the isomerization of metaxylene, and the methylation and disproportionation of toluene have been measured and compared with those of other zeolites like ZSM-5, -23, -48, and -50. While zeolite β does not exhibit product shape selectivity among the xylene isom...
