This report presents a detailed cost analysis of DMT production from toluene and methanol using the toluene disproportionation process followed by subsequent oxidation and esterification. In this process, toluene undergoes disproportionation process to obtain p-xylene, which is further oxidized to form terephthalic acid. The product formed is mixed with methanol and subsequent esterification is carried out to finally produce DMT.
