Selective Dehydrogenation and Dealkylation Catalyst for Conversion of Toluene to Benzene
Detol™
Data da edição :
fevereiro 06, 2026
Detol™ is a high-performance catalyst designed for selective dehydrogenation and dealkylation of toluene to benzene. Thanks to the catalyst’s high aromatic selectivity, petrochemical producers benefit from excellent product purity, with benzene content in the end-product exceeding 99.93 wt%. Detol is designed for use in an economical, single-step process, which eliminates the need for separate hydrotreating to reduce olefin or sulfur content in feedstock.
Our complete range of catalysts for dehydrogenation and dealkylation of aromatic hydrocarbons to benzene includes:
Detol™ for toluene to benzene
Litol™ for light oil to benzene
Pyrotol™ for pyrolysis petrol to benzene
Detol, Litol and Pyrotol technologies are exclusively licensed by our process partner, Lummus Technology, while the catalysts are solely produced and supplied by Clariant.
