The solvent used in Barisol dewaxing process is_____________________?

Correct answer: A. Benzol and ethylene dichloride

  • A. Benzol and ethylene dichloride
  • B. Furfural
  • C. Hexane
  • D. Methyl ethyl ketone (MEK)

Explanation

The Barisol dewaxing process uses a mixed solvent of benzene, also called benzol, and ethylene dichloride to dissolve oil while precipitating wax on cooling. MEK is associated with other solvent-dewaxing systems, making it the likely trap.
