What is the composition of mixed xylenes?
Mixed xylenes are a mixture of three isomers of xylene, which are aromatic hydrocarbons. The primary components of mixed xylenes include:
o-Xylene (Orthoxylene): Typically around 20-30% of the mixture, o-xylene has a boiling point of 144°C and is used in the production of phthalic anhydride, and as a solvent in various applications.
m-Xylene (Metaxylene): Usually around 40-60% of the mixture, m-xylene has a boiling point of 139°C and is used as a solvent and in the production of terephthalic acid, a precursor to polyester.
p-Xylene (Paraxylene): Making up around 15-30% of the mixture, p-xylene has a boiling point of 138°C and is primarily used in the manufacture of purified terephthalic acid (PTA) for polyester fibers and films.
