Procedure

Data from these analyses are combined by computer program to give an overall material-balanced run result. Especially noted is the proportion of para-ethyltoluene in ethyltoluenes, PET/ET, and the ratio of toluene converted to theoretical toluene conversion if all ethylene fed reacted stoichiometrically with toluene to give ethyltoluene.
