Abstract
The present invention relates to a process for producing benzene from a mixed hydrocarbon feedstream comprising subjecting C6 cut separated from said mixed hydrocarbon feedstream to aromatization to provide a benzene-rich aromatic stream and recovering the benzene from the benzene-rich aromatic stream.
Claims20
A process for producing benzene comprising:
- (a) subjecting a mixed hydrocarbon feedstream to a separation to provide a C6 cut, wherein the mixed hydrocarbon feedstream comprises reformats, and wherein a benzene content of the C6 cut comprises 10-50 wt % benzene;
- (b) subjecting the C6 cut to aromatization to provide a benzene-rich aromatic stream;
- and
- (c) separating and recovering a benzene stream from the benzene-rich aromatic stream without using aromatic extraction.
