The process examined is a selective toluene disproportionation process (STDP). In this process, toluene undergoes a selective disproportionation reaction to produce xylenes (mainly p-Xylene) and benzene. Then, benzene is separated as a by-product and p-Xylene is recovered in a crystallization unit. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): (1) US Patent 7230152, issued to UOP in 2007 (2) US Patent 4097543, issued to ExxonMobil in 1978 Keywords: Mixed Xylenes, C8 Aromatics, PX-Plus, Badger/Niro
