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.
