Alkylation of benzene over modified ZSM-5 catalysts with Nd and Pd has been done in a laboratory tubular reactor using a new modified zeolitic catalyst.  The alkylation experiments have been done at different reaction temperatures, pressures and benzene (ethylbenzene)/bioetanol molar ratio in order to establish their influence on the final composition of the reaction product, selectivity and conversion. The feed and products are analyzed by XR-Fluorescence Spectrometer and phase purity and phase purity were confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD apparatus X'Pest PRO-MPD.
