Mixed xylene as a common organic solvent, has a wide range of uses, mainly reflected in the following aspects:
1, fuel additives:
Mixed xylene because of its high octane number and low vapor pressure, is widely used in automotive and aviation fuel. By adding mixed xylene to gasoline, the octane number of fuel can be increased, the combustion performance can be improved, and the emission of engine can be reduced. In addition, it can also be used as an additive to diesel to improve the combustion efficiency and cleanliness of diesel.
2, solvent:
Mixed xylene due to its good solubility and low volatility, often used as a solvent to replace toxic substances in organic solvents. In the chemical industry, it can be used to dissolve resins, rubber, plastics and other substances, as well as to prepare products such as coatings, inks and adhesives. In addition, it can also be used for the extraction and separation of liquid colors, flavors and drugs. 3, catalyst: in the petroleum refining and chemical production process, mixed xylene is used as a catalyst raw material for the preparation of various catalysts. Catalyst is a kind of substance that can accelerate the rate of chemical reaction and is widely used in fuel processing, organic synthesis and environmental protection. The use of mixed xylene provides more options and flexibility for the preparation of catalysts. 4, other applications: mixed xylene is also widely used in coating, resin, dye, ink and other industries as a solvent; It can also be used as a high-octane gasoline component and is an important raw material for organic chemical industry. Its products are solvent-grade xylene with more than 98% content and ethylbenzene with less than 17% content.
In summary, mixed xylene has a wide range of applications in the energy field, including fuel additives, solvents and catalysts. With the increase of energy demand and environmental awareness, the application prospect of mixed xylene in energy field will be more and more broad.
