EDXRF Analysis for catalyst measurement in PIA and PTA plants Introduction The oxidation of p-xylene to produce Terephthalic Acid (TA) is enhanced by Co-Mn acetate and tetrabromo-ethane catalyst addition. The continuous on-line analysis of these catalysts; Co, Mn and Br, enables better control of the process thus enhancing yields, improving product quality and increasing throughput.
