colorless transparent liquid, melting point -25.4 ℃, boiling point 175~176 ℃. The relative density was 0.8944. Refractive index 5149. Flash point 48 °c. Soluble in alcohol, ether, benzene, acetone and other organic solvents.
both Petroleum aromatics and coal tar aromatics obtained from catalytic reforming or petroleum cracking contain a certain amount of trimethylbenzene. About 88.7% of the trimethylbenzene is contained in the reformed aromatic hydrocarbon. After rectification, acid washing, and then distillation to obtain the finished product.
