PROCESS FOR REDUCING ETHYLBENZENE CONTENT FROM AN AROMATIC STREAM

A method of reducing the ethylbenzene content in a stream containing xylene is disclosed. The method includes the reaction of ethylbenzene, such as a disproportionation or transalkylation reaction, to produce benzene and other hydrocarbon compound and can include the separation of at least a portion...

More Information
Summary:A method of reducing the ethylbenzene content in a stream containing xylene is disclosed. The method includes the reaction of ethylbenzene, such as a disproportionation or transalkylation reaction, to produce benzene and other hydrocarbon compound and can include the separation of at least a portion of the resulting benzene and other hydrocarbon compounds to produce a xylene stream having reduced ethylbenzene content. La présente invention concerne un procédé pour réduire la teneur en éthylbenzène d'un courant contenant un xylène. Ce procédé, qui comporte une réaction d'éthylbenzène, telle qu'une dismutation ou une transalkylation donnant un benzène ou un autre composé d'hydrocarbure, peut comporter une opération de séparation d'au moins une partie du benzène résultant ou d'autres composés d'hydrocarbure donnant un courant de xylène à teneur réduite en éthylbenzène.
