Uses | Divinylbenzene obtained by dehydrogenation of diethylbenzene is a crosslinking agent of polystyrene resin, and is also used as an intermediate in ion exchange resin and other organic synthesis, and can also be used as a solvent. P-diethylbenzene is a backwash agent for polyester raw material refined p-xylene adsorption bed. used to produce styrene, medicine and solvents, etc. |
production method | diethylbenzene is a by-product of ethylbenzene production in industry. at present, a large amount of ethylbenzene is obtained by alkylation of benzene and ethylene, and a small amount of ethylbenzene is obtained by separating the mixed xylene fraction. Industrial diethylbenzene, in which the ortho position is about 9.4%, the meta position is 61.5%, and the para position is 29.1%. |
