As such, its systematic IUPAC name is methylbenzene. Toluene is predominantly used as an industrial feedstock and a solvent. As the solvent in some types of paint thinner, permanent markers, contact cement and certain types of glue, toluene is sometimes used as a recreational inhalant [16] and has the potential of causing severe neurological ...
The simplest member, toluene (or methylbenzene), has the hydrogen atom of the benzene ring replaced by a methyl group. The chemical formula of alkylbenzenes is C n H 2n-6. [2] Safety hazards of toluene. Oftentimes, toluene is used as an organic solvent.
The production of p-xylene is industrially significant, with annual demand estimated at 37 million tons in 2014, and still on the increase. [12] [13] p-Xylene is produced by catalytic reforming of petroleum naphtha as part of the BTX aromatics (benzene, toluene and the xylene isomers) extracted from the catalytic reformate.
Xylene is used in the laboratory to make baths with dry ice to cool reaction vessels, [17] and as a solvent to remove synthetic immersion oil from the microscope objective in light microscopy. [18] In histology, xylene is the most widely used clearing agent. [19] Xylene is used to remove paraffin from dried microscope slides prior to staining.
The Phividec Industrial Estate in Misamis Oriental Special Economic Zone (PIEMO-SEZ) [2] is an industrial park spanning the municipalities of Tagoloan and Villanueva in the province of Misamis Oriental, Philippines and is one of the largest industrial estates in the country. It is under the Philippine Veterans Investment Development Corporation ...
The reaction is used for the transfer of methyl and ethyl groups between benzene rings. This is of particular value in the petrochemical industry [1] to manufacture p-xylene, styrene, [2] and other aromatic compounds. Motivation for using transalkylation reactions is based on a difference in production and demand for benzene, toluene, and xylenes.
The Philippines tourism department has launched an investigation after a video to advertise the holiday destination showed pictures from other countries, it was reported.. The Department of ...
m-Xylene (meta-xylene) is an aromatic hydrocarbon.It is one of the three isomers of dimethylbenzene known collectively as xylenes.The m-stands for meta-, indicating that the two methyl groups in m-xylene occupy positions 1 and 3 on a benzene ring.
