Description:
The session on Aromatics and Petrochemicals will focus on new developments including catalysis, reaction modelling, and process innovations for the production of aromatics (BTX), and aromatic derivatives such as, but not limited to, ethylbenzene, cumene, linear alkylbenzene (LAB), styrene, phenol, bis-phenol A, teraphthalic acid, polyethyleneteraphthalate, caprolactam, and polycarbonates.
