Abstract
The maximum yield of toluene resulting from catalytic aromatization of a selected cut from Turner Valley crude oil has been determined. Using a catalyst containing 14% chromium trioxide on aluminium trioxide and a temperature of 515 °C., a total yield of toluene equal to 3.15% by weight of the original crude may be obtained. This is 137% greater than the quantity of toluene originally present in the crude (1.33%). A possible recovery of approximately 250,000 lb. of toluene per day is indicated for the whole Turner Valley field (1942).
