About Ethylbenzene. Ethylbenzene (a.k.a. EB, Phenylethane) is a colorless liquid with an aromatic odor, insoluble in water and miscible with most organic solvents. It appears naturally in petroleum and coal tar and is also found in manufactured products.
Ethylbenzene is stored and transported in steel containers, away from oxidizing agents, such as perchlorates, peroxides, permanganates, chlorates, nitrates, chlorine, bromine and fluorine. Most of the time, however, it is produced and used in the same site.
Raw materials and the respective production processes employed in the manufacturing of Ethylbenzene are listed below.
- Benzene + ethylene (Friedel-Crafts alkylation),
- Mixed xylenes (superfractionation)
The uses and applications of Ethylbenzene may vary according to its specification. The main forms of Ethylbenzene are 99.0 to 99.5% purity
