Included activities starts

The activity starts with the production and import of "p-Xylene" in this region.

Included activities ends

The activity ends with providing the "p-Xylene" to the consumers of this product. Transportation is included; however, product losses during transport are negligible and therefore not included.

Description

This is a market dataset representing the consumption market in the region. It includes transportation of the product from the factory gate to consumption, with transport services calculated according to the regional transportation conditions for the product.

Activity Description

The production process of p-xylene via concentrated acid hydrolysis includes steps such as raw material preparation, pretreatment, hydrolysis reaction, separation, purification, decolorization, impurity removal, and packaging.

Process Description

Paraxylene is an organic compound with the chemical formula C8H10. It is one of the important aromatic hydrocarbons and appears as a colorless, transparent liquid with an aromatic odor at room temperature. It is insoluble in water but miscible with most organic solvents such as ethanol, diethyl ether, and chloroform. Paraxylene is primarily used as a raw material in the production of polyester fibers and resins, coatings, dyes, and pesticides. It is also used as a reference standard in chromatographic analysis and as a solvent, as well as for organic synthesis.
