Description
The production activities of this product are based on the weighted average of 'p-Xylene, concentrated acid (CA) hydrolysis, biomass derived' and 'p-Xylene, molten salt hydrate (MSH) hydrolysis, biomass derived'; if you cannot clearly specify the exact production process of p-Xylene, this dataset can be used. For detailed technical descriptions, system boundaries, and related information, please refer to various p-Xylene production datasets. Infrastructure such as production equipment manufacturing and facility construction is not included within the system boundary of this dataset.
Activity Description
The production activities of the product are weighted averages of "p-xylene, concentrated acid (CA) hydrolysis, bio-based" and "p-xylene, molten salt hydrate (MSH) hydrolysis, bio-based".
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.
