Benzene, toluene, and xylenes can be made by various processes. However, most BTX production is based on the recovery of aromatics derived from the catalytic reforming of naphtha in a petroleum refinery. [4][7]

Production of o-xylene was about 1 billion pounds in 1997, and this compound is used almost entirely to make phthalic anhydride, an intermediate in the synthesis of plasticizers, pharmaceuticals, and other chemicals (CMA 1998, CHEMX 1999, Orica 1999.

Aug 1, 2023 · This paper summarizes the mechanisms and pathways of biomass to BTX via CFP and attempts to provide an overview of the factors affecting BTX production from biomass in terms of feedstocks, catalysts, process configurations, and pyrolysis conditions.

High purity BTX components (benzene, toluene and xylenes) are important building blocks in many synthesis processes in the petrochemical industry. Considerable quantities of benzene and xylene compounds are used in the production of major petrochemical intermediates.

Dec 15, 2022 · Benzene, toluene, and xylene (BTX) production from shale-derived CH 4, C 2 H 6, and C 3 H 8 is considered an energy-efficient technology substituting their naphtha-cracking counterparts.

This report presents a cost analysis of the production of a mixture of Benzene, Toluene and Xylenes (BTX) from ethane. The process examined is a typical aromatization process.

Dec 7, 2022 · Lignin is a sustainable, renewable raw material alternative to petroleum-based chemicals, mainly for the benzene–toluene–xylene (BTX) production of commodities and the sequential secondary, tertiary and manufactured products in the petrochemical industry.

Jan 15, 2023 · The selective production of benzene, toluene, and xylene (BTX) has the potential to enhance the overall economics of aromatic production and subsequent processes, owing to their differing applications in the petroleum industry.

Since the BTX-aromatics benzene, toluene and xylene are co-generated, alongside other aromatics and non-aromatics during coal conversion and petroleum refining, their concurrent recovery is described jointly in this chapter.

Up-to-date report, based on Q3 2024 data, examining Aromatics BTX production costs from Ethane, including Aromatics BTX plant capital cost and operating costs. See free preview.
