Ethylbenzene belongs to a group of chemicals called "BTEX compounds", which also includes benzene, toluene and xylene. These are volatile organic hydrocarbons, which are water soluble and are mostly ...

Benzene, a key petrochemical, serves as a precursor for producing derivatives like ethylbenzene, cumene, aniline, and phenol, which are integral to industries such as plastics, resins, rubber, dyes, ...

The study details a cost-effective method for producing ethylbenzene -- an additive that improves the functional characteristics of sustainable aviation fuels -- from polystyrene, a hard plastic ...

Benzene is a volatile organic compound (VOC) with a relatively high vapour pressure, moderate-to-high water solubility, and low octanol/water partition coefficient, that is released primarily to air.

Credit: Fred Zwicky Researchers have developed a groundbreaking method to produce ethylbenzene, a crucial additive for sustainable aviation fuels, from waste polystyrene. This innovation could ...

We examined occupational exposure to benzene, toluene, xylene (BTX) and styrene and PCa risk in a population-based case–control study in Montreal, Canada. Methods Cases aged ≤75 years diagnosed with ...

The study details a cost-effective method for producing ethylbenzene—an additive that improves the functional characteristics of sustainable aviation fuels—from polystyrene, a hard plastic used in ...

The new rule modernizes some aspects of commercial oilfield waste disposal and recycling. But rules for burying oilfield ...

Ethylbenzene is an an additive that improves the functional characteristics of sustainable aviation fuels. The study is believed to help the aviation industry overcome its near-total reliance on ...
