Procedure

In one embodiment, the catalyst is then placed in a stream of benzene and propylene to form cumene, where the stream comprises a liquid. In various embodiments, the environment in which the benzene and propylene stream is brought in contact with the catalyst comprises a temperature of between about 60° C. to about 200° C., a pressure of between about 200 psig (1480 kPa) and about 1000 psig (6997 kPa), and with a liquid hourly space velocity for the stream of benzene and propylene of about 0.1 hr−1 to about 10 hr−1.
