Book excerpt: This report presents a cost analysis of para-Xylene production from toluene and C9 aromatics. The process examined is a typical toluene disproportionation and transalkylation process. In this process, mixed xylenes and benzene are produced via disproportionation of toluene and transalkylation of toluene and C9 aromatics. The benzene is separated as by-product. Finally, p-Xylene is recovered from mixed xylenes via adsorption and isomerization steps. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): Keywords: TDP, UOP, Tatoray, Axens, ExxonMobil, MTDP-3, Transalkylation, Disproportionation
