Paraxylene is used in the production of
terephthalic acid, purified
terephthalic acid, and dimethyl terephthalate that is majorly used in the production of polyethylene terephthalate.
[ClickPress, Thu Jun 06 2019] Paraxylene is an aromatic hydrocarbon, which is used as feedstock to manufacture industrial chemicals, notably purified
terephthalic acid (PTA) and dimethyl terephthalate (DMT).
The disruptive depolymerisation technology manufactures purified
terephthalic acid and mono ethelyne glycol from waste Polyester/PET feedstocks.

terephthalic acidThe divestment is in line with BP's global petrochemicals strategy of pursuing a competitively advantaged portfolio through world-scale, low-cost facilities that utilize BP proprietary technology, including the production of purified
terephthalic acid, or PTA, a key raw material in the production of polyester.
The alliance with Suntory supports Anellotech's development of bio-aromatics such as bio-paraxylene, the key component needed to make purified
terephthalic acid (PTA) and dimethyl terephthalate (DMT), which account for 70% of the PET molecule.
Restructuring in the petrochemical and steel industries will focus on facility adjustment, in particular cutting facility capacity for the production of
terephthalic acid and ferroalloys.
Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) is a plastic polymer produced by reacting Purified
Terephthalic Acid (PTA) & Monoethylene Glycol (MEG), whereas Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) is manufactured from PTA and BDO (1, 4-butanediol).
EagleBurgmann has shipped the largest agitator seal (480 mm shaft size) for use in a new PTA (pure
terephthalic acid) plant in China.
It is well known, that the synthesis of this type of compounds occurs by a nucleophilic attack of amine group to the anhydride ring to obtain the corresponding bis(carbamoylbenzoic) or bis(carbamoyl)
terephthalic acid structure.
Gevo has also patented a process by which isobutylene is dimerized to p-xylene, the petrochemical precursor to
terephthalic acid. (14)
