ICC - Process Overview Text: <h6>Product</h6> <p><b>Dimethyl Terephthalate</b>. Dimethyl Terephthalate (DMT) is a key intermediate in the production of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polyester fibers, widely used in packaging, textiles, and engineering plastics. DMT is produced via the esterification of terephthalic acid with methanol. It is stored as a solid and is central to industries producing strong, flexible, and durable plastics and fibers.</p> <h6>Raw Materials</h6> <p><b>Methanol</b>. Methanol is one of the most important chemical raw materials, used as a solvent, starting material in the production of chemicals and in the fuel sector. Currently, more than 95% of commercial methanol is synthetically produced from synthesis gas, or syngas, which is a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide. </p> <b>Paraxylene</b>. p-Xylene, or paraxylene is the most important commercial isomer among the xylenes group. Almost all of its production is converted to Terephthalic Acid and dimethyl terephthalate. p-Xylene is primarily manufactured by naphtha catalytic reforming, followed by separation of the xylenes isomers, crystallization or absorption for pxylene separation.</p>

ICC - Short Description: This report examines the costs related to Dimethyl Terephthalate (DMT) production from p-xylene and methanol in the United States, via typical oxidation and esterification processes. In this process, operations theoretically take place in alternate oxidation and esterification (with methanol) phases. P-xylene is oxidized to p-toluic acid, which is converted to p-methyl toluate, then to methyl terephthalate and ,finally, to DMT.

Dimethyl Terephthalate from Toluene and Methanol

It presents the economics of Dimethyl Terephthalate (DMT) production from toluene and methanol in a plant located in the United States. Toluene is converted to p-xylene via a catalytic disproportionation process similar to ExxonMobil PxMax. The p-xylene is oxidized to p-toluic acid, which is esterified with methanol to generate DMT.
