Latest News and Developments:
- January 2025: A research highlighted the use of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) to separate xylene isomers such as para-xylene, meta-xylene, ortho-xylene, and ethyl benzene. Traditionally difficult to separate due to similar properties, MOFs provided multiple molecular-scale mechanisms, including sieving, gating, thermodynamic interactions, and kinetic diffusion. Studies demonstrated their effectiveness in chromatography, vapor and liquid adsorption, breakthrough, and membrane separation.
- June 2024: Covestro announced its strategic partnership with BioBTX, to support the construction of the world’s first demonstration plant for BioBTX's innovative chemical recycling technology in the Netherlands. This technology aims to convert organic and mixed plastic waste into essential chemicals like benzene, toluene, and xylene, which are crucial for the chemical industry. The demonstration plant is expected to process 20 kilotons of mixed plastic waste annually and is a significant step toward scaling the technology for industrial use. The plant is anticipated to be operational by early 2027, marking a pivotal development in sustainable chemical production and waste management.
Product Description
Xylene is a flammable and volatile organic compound in a liquid form that has a sweet smell and is colorless. Chemically, it is a derivative of benzene, with two methyl groups attached to the benzene ring, and primarily exists in three isomeric forms: There are three types of xylenes, namely; ortho-xylene, meta-xylene, and para-xylene. These isomers vary like the methyl groups placed on the benzene ring; their characteristics and uses are also affected. Xylene is obtained through catalytic reforming and the process of coal carbonization to obtain coke fuel. Also, it may be obtained as a co-product of petroleum refining operations. Xylene is one of the most important solvents used in industries because it finds application in many of them.
The suitability of xylene in these uses is attributed to the fact that it is capable of dissolving other components and also volatiles more often with fewer deposits. Also, its use in diluting paints and washing paintbrushes testifies to its usage in production as well as art forms. Therefore, xylene’s versatility and efficiency as a solvent make the chemical invaluable in multiple industries and research.
