14. Aromatic compound Benzene production Extractive distillation
Catalytic reforming
Toluene hydrodealkylation and disproportionation
Pyrolysis gasoline
Production from coal tar

15. Benzene production Extractive distillation

16. Benzene production Extractive distillation
Sulfolane Extractive Distillation Technology (SED)

17. Benzene production Catalytic reforming
Reforming takes straight chain hydrocarbons in the C6 to C8 range from the gasoline or naphtha fractions and rearranges them into compounds containing benzene rings
A typical catalyst is a mixture of platinum and aluminium oxide

18. Benzene production Production from pyrolysis gasoline
Pyrolysis gasoline is the by-product of steam cracking of paraffin gases, naphtha, gas oils and other hydrocarbons used to make ethylene.
It contains 60% aromatics, 50% of which is benzene

27. Toluene Toluene to benzene production technology
Toluene hydrodealkylation
The hydrodealkylation is conducted either purely thermally at °C and bar or catalytically at somewhat lower temperatures of °C and bar Over Cr2O3, Mo2O3, or CoO on supports (e.g., Al2O3) or, as in a recent development, at °C over Rh/Al2O3.

28. Toluene Toluene to benzene production technology
Toluene disproportionation
2 toluene molecules are reacted and the methyl groups rearranged from one toluene molecule to the other, yielding one benzene molecule and one xylene molecule

29. Toluene Toluene to TDI production process
Toluene diisocyanate (TDI) is currently produced via a three-step process:
Nitration of toluene to dinitrotoluene (DNT)
Toluene is nitrated in two steps, producing the three isomers of mononitrotoluene. and the mixed mononitrobenzene isomers are further nitrated resulting in dinitrotoluene isomers
Reduction of dinitrotoluene to toluene diamine (TDA)
Dinitrotoluene is dissolved in methanol and reduced continuously by reaction with hydrogen in the presence of a suitable catalyst

30. Toluene Toluene to TDI production process
Toluene diisocyanate (TDI) is currently produced via a three-step process:
Phosgenation of TDA to TDI
The 80/20 TDA produced by any of the above processes is converted to diisocyanate by reaction with phosgene
phosgene

31. Aromatic compound Xylene
the o- isomer has the IUPAC name of 1,2-dimethylbenzene
the m- isomer has the IUPAC name of 1,3-dimethylbenzene
the p- isomer has the IUPAC name of 1,4-dimethylbenzene

32. Aromatic compound Xylene Properties
The melting point ranges from −47.87 °C (−54.17 °F) (m-xylene) to °C (55.87 °F) (p-xylene)
The boiling point for each isomer is around 140 °C ( °F)
The density of each is around 0.87 g/mL (7.26 lb/U.S. gallon)
Xylene in air can be smelled at 0.08 to 3.7 parts of xylene per million parts of air (ppm)
