Benzenes

Manufacturing high-purity benzene,

toluene and xylene from coke oven

gas

JFE Chemical produces a variety of benzene, toluene, and xylene products of high purity by recovering the benzene, toluene, and xylene contained in coke oven gas, and then refining it by distillation after hydrodesulfurization and denitrification. The substances are recovered from coke oven gas at all of our plants, while our benzene, toluene, and xylene products are produced at our Kasaoka and Chiba plants.
