  2. Ethylbenzene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethylbenzene

    Ethylbenzene is an organic compound with the formula C 6 H 5 CH 2 CH 3. It is a highly flammable, colorless liquid with an odor similar to that of gasoline . This monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbon is important in the petrochemical industry as a reaction intermediate in the production of styrene , the precursor to polystyrene , a common plastic ...

  3. BTX (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BTX_(chemistry)

    If ethylbenzene is included, the mixture is sometimes referred to as BTEX. The BTX aromatics are very important petrochemical materials. Global consumption of benzene, estimated at more than 40,000,000 tons in 2010, showed an unprecedented growth of more than 3,000,000 tons from the level seen in 2009.

  4. Xylene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xylene

    [3] [7] Commercial or laboratory-grade xylene produced usually contains about 40–65% of m-xylene and up to 20% each of o-xylene, p-xylene and ethylbenzene. [8] [9] [10] The ratio of isomers can be shifted to favor the highly valued p-xylene via the patented UOP-Isomar process [11] or by transalkylation of xylene with itself or trimethylbenzene.

  5. Styrene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Styrene

    The vast majority of styrene is produced from ethylbenzene, [20] and almost all ethylbenzene produced worldwide is intended for styrene production. As such, the two production processes are often highly integrated.

  6. Diethylbenzenes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diethylbenzenes

    Diethylbenzenes arise as side-products of the alkylation of benzene with ethylene, which can be described as two steps. The first step is the industrial route to ethylbenzene, which is produced on a large scale as a precursor to styrene. C 6 H 6 + C 2 H 4 → C 6 H 5 C 2 H 5. The diethylbenzene is an inadvertent side product. C 6 H 5 C 2 H 5 ...

  9. Benzene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benzene

    Benzene is used mainly as an intermediate to make other chemicals, above all ethylbenzene (and other alkylbenzenes), cumene, cyclohexane, and nitrobenzene. In 1988 it was reported that two-thirds of all chemicals on the American Chemical Society's lists contained at least one benzene ring. [67]
