Hi all,
The file attached is a research paper which discusses the separation of p-xylene and ethylbenzene using extractive distillation as an alternative to parex process.
However parex process involves separation of p-xylene from ethylbenzene and 2 other xylene isomers, o-xylene and m-xylene. This is not mentioned in the research paper for extractive distillation. instead only p-xylene and ethylbenzene. There are a couple other papers discussing the same thing. Can anyone please explain how to obtain p-xylene and ethylbenzene mixture without o and m-xylene.
Thanks
