Direct Production of o-Xylene from Six-Component BTEXs Using a Channel-Pore Interconnected Metal-Organic Framework

Academic Background In the chemical industry, the separation of benzene derivatives is a critically important and challenging process. Benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and the xylene isomers (o-xylene, m-xylene, p-xylene) typically exist as mixtures in the petroleum industry, collectively referred to as BTEXs. Among them, o-xylene (OX) is a key feed...
