Cepsa Chemicals Cumene

Cepsa Chemicals Cumene is produced through the catalytic alkylation of benzene with propylene. Both raw materials are derived from crude oil distillation. The bulk of cumene production is typically transformed into cumene hydroperoxide, an intermediate in the synthesis of essential chemicals like phenol and acetone. Additionally, cumene is used in surfactants, the production of propylene Oxide (PO), and as an additive in gasoline.

Key Features

Cumene is an aromatic hydrocarbon, also known as isopropylbenzene. It is obtained through the alkylation of benzene with propylene. Cumene is mainly used to produce surfactants and manufacture cumene hydroperoxide (intermediate in the production of phenol and acetone, high-value- added chemicals). It also has other uses, such as in the production of propylene oxide and as an additive in the gasoline pool. As an intermediate product in the production of other chemicals, its applications cover all the industries that use them.

Applications

Nearly all the cumene, produced as a pure compound on an industrial scale, is converted to cumene hydroperoxide, which is an intermediate in the synthesis of other important chemicals such as phenol and acetone. Moreover, It is employed in surfactants, in the production of Propylene Oxide (PO) and in gasoline pool as additive.
