Process for separating C5 cuts obtained from a petroleum cracking process

The present invention relates to a process for separating the isoprene, 1,3-pentadiene and dicyclopentadiene from a C5 cuts, comprising dimerization of the cyclopentadiene and selective catalytic hydrogenation. The second extractive rectification step can be omitted, because the alkynes are removed through selective catalytic hydrogenation prior to the extractive rectification. As a result, the solvent-recovering units can be simplified, and thus the process as a whole can be optimized. Correspondingly, the investment and energy consumption, the operation cost, and finally the production cost can be substantially reduced.

Extractive distillation processes using water-soluble extractive solvents

Extractive distillation processes whereby water-soluble extractive distillation (ED) solvents are regenerated and recovered employ improved operations of the extractive distillation column (EDC) so that polar hydrocarbons are recovered and purified from mixtures containing polar and less polar hydrocarbons and measurable amounts of hydrocarbons that are heavier than intended feedstock and / or polymers that are generated in the ED process. The improved process can effectively remove and recover the heavy hydrocarbons and / or remove polymer contaminants from the solvent in a closed solvent circulating loop through mild operating conditions with no additional process energy being expended. With the improved process, the overhead reflux of the EDC may be eliminated to further reduce energy consumption and to enhance the loading and performance within the upper portion of the EDC, especially when two liquid phases exists therein.

Process for separating aromatics by extractive distillation and a composite solvent used therein

This application relates to a composite solvent for separating aromatics by extractive distillation, comprising a main solvent, a solutizer and a modifier. Said solutizer is selected from any one or mixtures of any two of C8–C11 aromatics having different number of carbon atoms, the content of which is 3–39 wt %, and the number of carbon atoms of the lowest aromatic in the solutizer should be greater than that of the highest aromatic in the aromatics to be separated. When the solutizer is selected from any one of C8–C11 aromatics, the composite solvent contains 0.01–10.0 wt % of the modifier; when the solutizer is selected from mixtures of any two of C8–C11 aromatics having different number of carbon atoms, the composite solvent contains 0–10.0 wt % of the modifier. Said main solvent and modifier are independently selected from sulfolane derivatives, N-formyl morpholine, and N-methyl pyrrolidone, provided that the acidity and basicity of the modifier are opposite to those of the main solvent. When the composite solvent is used to recover aromatics by extractive distillation, it is possible to moderate the operation conditions of solvent recovery, increase the yield of aromatics, and make the separated aromatics to be neutral.
