    On December 20, the 200,000-ton/year toluene methanol methylation project of Yangzi Petrochemical passed the completion acceptance.
    The project is the world's first industrial plant and has applied for more than 10 patents, forming a complete set of technology unique to Sinopec
    .
    This project has won the first prize of 2014 China Petrochemical Corporation Scientific and Technological Progress Award
    .
    ? Toluene methylation is the use of toluene and methanol as raw materials, through toluene methylation technology, to create conditions for conversion to the target product-xylene, improve the efficiency of naphtha production of aromatics and the yield of xylene, is a "molecule Economical" xylene production technology
    .
    The successful development and application of this technology can not only ease the competition for naphtha in the production of aromatics and ethylene, but also effectively expand the source of raw materials for aromatics production
    .
    ? Sinopec has combined the advantages of Yangzi Petrochemical, Shanghai Petrochemical Research Institute, and Luoyang Engineering Company to effectively integrate multidisciplinary resources such as catalyst development, process research and engineering design, and has successively completed industrial sideline tests and the development and design of 200,000 tons/year process package He has successfully developed high-performance toluene methylation catalysts, multi-bed reaction processes, wastewater treatment processes, heat integration and low-temperature heat utilization processes, etc.
    , and applied for domestic and foreign patents covering catalytic materials, catalysts and process technologies.
    It is the first to realize the industrialization of toluene methylation technology in the world
    .
    ? The construction of the device was started in March 2012, and it was completed on October 15, 2012.
    In December, it was successfully put into operation and produced qualified xylene products
