Determination of butyl-toluene content in benzene dewaxing unit
Thread Content
I have a question for everyone: In a cumene dewaxing unit, how is the butyl-to-xylene content in the solvent determined? I am conducting a homophene dewaxing test in the laboratory and would like to determine the content of butyltoluene in the recovered solvent. However, since rapid distillation is being used in the lab, the solvent turns yellow, which suggests that oils (reduction line 4) may have been carried over during the distillation process; therefore, it’s not possible to use it directly in a chromatography column for analysis. I’m looking for effective methods to measure the amount of butyltoluene present
