Solvent used in the Udex (glycol) extraction process for removal of light aromatics from cracked naphtha is_________________?

Correct answer: C. Aqueous solution (10% water) of diethylene glycol

  • A. Propane
  • B. Diethylene glycol
  • C. Aqueous solution (10% water) of diethylene glycol
  • D. Methyl ethyl ketone (MEK)
