How is ortho-xylene (CAS 95-47-6) made?

1. Catalytic reforming: Naphtha is processed to form a mixture of aromatic hydrocarbons known as the 'BTX fraction' (benzene, toluene and xylene isomers).

 

2. Separation: This complex mixture is then separated using sophisticated distillation and extraction technologies. Due to the very similar boiling points of the xylene isomers, additional techniques such as fractional distillation and crystallisation are employed to isolate and concentrate ortho-xylene.
