    摘要: Para-xylene production processes are disclosed, with such processes being integrated with extractive distillation or other separation to effectively separate, for example to remove and recover, ethylbenzene and other components that co-boil with the isomers of xylene. This allows for xylene isomerization, downstream of the separation of para-xylene from its other isomers, to be operated under milder conditions (e.g., liquid phase, absence of added hydrogen) without the need for ethylbenzene conversion. The associated decreased yields of byproducts such as light gases and non-aromatic hydrocarbons, together with the generation of purified ethylbenzene having value for styrene monomer production, can significantly improve overall process economics.

    摘要: This invention relates to a mixed metal oxides adsorbent which comprises: a) an oxide of a first metal which is selected from a metal in oxidation state +1, a metal in oxidation state +2, and mixtures thereof; and b) an oxide of a second metal which is selected from a metal in oxidation state +3, a metal in oxidation state of +4, and mixtures thereof; wherein at least one of the first metal or the second metal comprises a transition metal selected from Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, and mixtures thereof.
