Abstract:
Methods are provided for the treatment of a feed stream containing C9 aromatic components to produce mesitylene-containing products. The methods include hydrodealkylating the feed stream to remove C2 and higher alkyl groups from the aromatic components and transalkylating the feed stream to rearrange the distribution of methyl groups among the aromatic components. Disclosed methods also include the treatment of a hydrocarbon feedstock by hydrodealkylation and/or transalkylation in order to produce a hydrocarbon product having an increased mass percentage of mesitylene.

Claim (Index 25):
A method for the production of mesitylene-containing products from a feed stream comprising C 9  aromatic components, comprising:\n a. hydrodealkylating the feed stream to a dealkylated product having C2 and higher alkyl groups substantially removed from the aromatic components of the feed stream as their corresponding alkanes; b. transalkylating the dealkylated product to a transalkylated product having the distribution of methyl groups among the aromatic components of the dealkylated product rearranged; c. isomerizing the transalkylated product to increase the amount of mesitylene in the resulting isomerized product; d. processing the isomerized product to recover benzene, toluene and xylene, said processing the isomerized product comprising processing by distillation, said processing by distillation providing a BTX component and a TMB component; e. recovering a TMB-rich product from the isomerized product, said recovering a TMB-rich product comprising distilling the TMB component, said recovering a TMB-rich product by distillation providing a C9 depleted component; and f. recycling the C9 depleted component to combine it with the dealkylated product for said transalkylating, the C9 depleted component being is combined with the dealkylated product to provide a methyl to benzene ratio of about 3.0.
