In the petroleum refining and petrochemical industries, the initialism BTX refers to mixtures of benzene, toluene, and the three xylene isomers, all of which are aromatic hydrocarbons. The xylene isomers are distinguished by the designations ortho – (or o –), meta – (or m –), and para – (or p –) as indicated in the adjacent diagram.
Benzophenone can be used as a photo initiator in ultraviolet (UV)-curing applications [6] such as inks, imaging, and clear coatings in the printing industry. Benzophenone prevents UV light from damaging scents and colors in products such as perfumes and soaps.
Benzocyclobutene (BCB) is a benzene ring fused to a cyclobutane ring. It has chemical formula C 8 H 8. [1]BCB is frequently used to create photosensitive polymers.BCB-based polymer dielectrics may be spun on or applied to various substrates for use in Micro Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) and microelectronics processing.
The Penex process is a continuous catalytic process used in the refining of crude oil. It isomerizes light naphtha (C 5 /C 6) into higher-octane, branched C 5 /C 6 molecules. It also reduces the concentration of benzene in the gasoline pool. [1] It was first used commercially in 1958. [2]
The quantity used for the curing of UP resins is about 1-2%. [2] A disadvantage, particularly in the production of polymers for applications in the food or cosmetics sector, is the possible formation of benzene as a decomposition product which can diffuse out of the polymer (for example, an LDPE packaging film).
It is produced by methylation of other methylated benzene compounds such as p-xylene and pseudocumene. [2] C 6 H 4 (CH 3) 2 + 2 CH 3 Cl → C 6 H 2 (CH 3) 4 + 2 HCl. In industry, a mixture of xylenes and trimethylbenzenes is alkylated with methanol. Durene can be separated from its isomers by selective crystallization, exploiting its high ...
The C 3-benzenes are a class of organic aromatic compounds which contain a benzene ring and three other carbon atoms. For the hydrocarbons with no further unsaturation, there are four isomers. The chemical formula for all the saturated isomers is C 9 H 12.
n-Propylbenzene is an aromatic hydrocarbon with the formula C 6 H 5 CH 2 CH 2 CH 3.The molecule consists of a propyl group attached to a phenyl ring. It is a colorless liquid. A more common structural isomer of this compound is cumene.
