Paraxylene (PX) is an important basic organic raw material, mainly derived from aromatics complexes using reforming oil as raw material. Trace olefins remaining in reforming oil can seriously affect the subsequent PX production process and product quality. This technology uses a molecular sieve with a specific structure as the catalytically active center under non-hydrogen conditions to convert difficult-to-separate trace olefins into easily separable high-boiling point compounds and then remove them from the C8 aromatics component. The Shanghai Institute has continued to research this technology and has successively developed DOT-100, DOT-200, and DOT-300 catalysts suitable for the reforming unit of the aromatics complex, as well as the IDO-01 catalyst suitable for the isomerization unit. This has solved the environmental problems caused by the large amount of hazardous white clay waste discharged from PX production equipment and promoted the development of green PX production technology.
