Production Pathways Reports About Benzene

Benzene is a single-ring aromatic compound, and one of the most important feedstocks for the chemical industry. Its main uses are the production of ethylbenzene, cumene, and cyclohexane. Benzene is also employed as a motor fuel component and as a solvent, although it has been replaced
