In this min-review, we discuss the potential of zeolite for industrial linear alkylbenzene (LAB) synthesis with special focus on 2-LAB isomer selectivity control and catalytic stability improvement. Some viable post treatment methods, including general dealumination and desilication modification, as well as delamination and pillaring methods, have been demonstrated for mesoporosity generation and catalytic property improvement particularly LAB isomer selectivity and catalytic stability.
