The process examined is a xylene isomerization process with ethylbenzene (EB) dealkylation. In this process, a mixture of C8 aromatics containing xylene isomers and EB is sent to an adsorption unit for the recovery of p-Xylene. The p-Xylene-depleted stream is fed into the isomerization unit, where the remaining xylenes are isomerized to equilibrium and the EB is dealkylated to benzene by-product. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): Keywords: Mixed Xylenes, C8 Aromatics, UOP, PAREX, Axens, Eluxyl, BP, AMSAC
