The synthesized zeolites of EU-1 and mordenite were modified via dealumination process with Nitric acid and changes of their properties including surface area, diameter, pore volume and Si/Al ratio were investigated. The catalytic performance of these two zeolites was tested and compared together in xylene isomerization process at a fixed bed reactor. The results showed that due to modification of catalysts with acid, because of the removal of a large number of aluminum atoms from the zeolite network, the Si/Al ratio and surface area of zeolites were increased, which resulted in their activity and selectivity of xylene isomerization process. As expected, the modified zeolites had much higher para xylene/ortho xylene, para xylene/xylene and m-xylene conversion than before in xylene isomerization process.
