are the collective name for benzene and its carbon and hydrogen-only derivatives, which are hydrocarbon compounds with one or more benzene rings in their molecular structure. The simplest and most important aromatic hydrocarbons are benzene and its congeners toluene, xylene, ethylbenzene, etc.

AROMATIC HYDROCARBONS BENEFITS
Fuel: Aromatic hydrocarbons are used as fuel additives, due to their high energy density and low volatility.
Aroma: Aromatic hydrocarbons are also used in perfumes, fragrances, and flavors, due to their pleasant aroma.
Once the aromatics are extracted, they undergo a refining process to remove impurities and convert them into the desired products. This refining process may involve various techniques, such as catalytic reforming, which converts naphtha into higher-octane aromatics; alkylation, which combines smaller molecules to form larger ones; and transalkylation, which converts alkylated aromatics into the desired product.

AROMATIC HYDROCARBONS APPLICATIONS
Production of fragrances and flavors:
Aromatic hydrocarbons are used as raw materials in the production of various types of plastics, including polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polyurethane. These plastics are used in a wide range of products, such as packaging materials, textiles, and construction materials.
Production of detergents:
Aromatic hydrocarbons are used as components in gasoline and diesel fuels. They help to improve the octane rating of gasoline and the cetane rating of diesel, which improves the performance of these fuels.
