Separate purification of benzene and toluene fractions provides the following advantages over purification of the BTX fraction: the yield of pure products is increased by about 3%; the yield of the indene-coumarone fraction increases by about 1.5%; in the highest grade nitration benzene, the consumption of acid is decreased by 35% and there should be a consequent decrease in the quantity of acid tar. It is possible to significantly improve the quality of the benzene to synthesis benzene, bypassing the secondary purification stage.
