1. A process for transalkylation comprising:
transalkylating a coal-derived liquid stream comprising alkylphenols in a transalkylation reaction zone under transalkylation conditions in the presence of a co-reactant and a transalkylation catalyst comprising about 50% or more HBeta zeolite and 1 to 40% HZSM-5 zeolite to produce a transalkylation effluent stream comprising one or more of phenol, cresols, and alkylbenzenes, the process having increased conversion of alkylphenols to phenol, cresols, and alkylbenzenes compared to a catalyst consisting of HZSM-5 zeolite.
