摘要:
A process for eliminating at least pollutants including polar compounds present in a first fluid, with said first fluid sent to a subsequent treatment, e.g., an etherification process: a) the first fluid containing pollutants is contacted with an auxiliary fluid such as a vapor phase, under operating conditions that are selected so as to obtain, at the end of this first stage, said first fluid that is purified and freed of, for the most part, pollutants, and a vapor phase that is loaded with pollutants, said vapor phase being produced during one phase of the process, and b) at least a portion of said first purified fluid is recycled to a subsequent treatment stage.

C. and a product (P2) with an initial boiling point greater than the final boiling point of product (P1),c) performing a liquid-liquid extraction with a solvent (S1), to produce an extract (E1) and a raffinate (R1) from product (P2),d) recovering solvent (S1) from raffinate (R1) to produce a product (Q1), depleted in solvent (S1), which has improved qualities and contains less than 500 ppm by weight of sulphur.
摘要:
A reactive distillation process which makes it possible, in the same enclosure, to carry out a catalytic reaction and isolate by distillation the sought product, in which the liquid phase containing the reagents passes from bottom to top through at least one catalyst bed, without the vapor phase of the distillation traversing said catalyst beds. These operating characteristics occur in a reactive distillation zone (C) including an alternation of distillation cells (D) having one or more trays (5) and reaction cells (R) containing the catalyst beds and designed in such a way that the liquid phase flowing from a distillation tray (5) flows above an overflow ( 7) through a downpipe (6) and approaches the base of the catalyst bed (8), traverses the latter in a downward flow and is then allowed to flow over a distillation tray (5) of the following distillation cell (D), so that the distillation vapor circulating from bottom to top through the distillation trays (5) does not traverse said reaction cells (R). Each reaction cell (R) is physically separated from the adjacent distillation cell or cells (D). The process can in particular be applied to the synthesis reactions of tertiary alkyl ethers by the addition of aliphatic monoalcohols (methanol, ethanol) on isoolefins (isobutene, isopentene).
摘要:
Process for dehydrating aliphatic alcohols admixed with water wherein the alcohols-water mixture is subjected to a first fractionation in the presence of a selective solvent, giving a vapor effluent containing dehydrated light alcohols and a liquid phase containing heavy alcohols, water and the selective solvent, said liquid phase being subjected to a second fractionation giving as vapor effluent an hetero-azeotropic mixture of water and heavy alcohols and, as liquid effluent, the selective solvent, which is fed back, said hetero-azeotropic mixture being condensed and separated into:(a) a light phase of high alcohol content which is subjected to a third fractionation giving a vapor effluent which is fed back and dehydrated heavy alcohols as liquid effluent, and(b) a heavy phase which is subjected to a fourth fractionation giving a vapor effluent which is fed back and water as liquid effluent.

摘要:
For the treatment of a feed comprising a major portion of olefinic hydrocarbons containing 4 carbon atoms per molecule, including isobutene, 1-butene and 2-butenes in a ratio which substantially corresponds to the thermodynamic equilibrium, in which the feed is treated in a distillation zone comprising a stripping zone and a rectification zone associated with at least one hydroisomerization reaction zone, the hydroisomerization reaction zone being at least partially internal to the distillation zone and comprising at least one catalytic bed, in which hydroisomerization of at least a portion of 1-butene is carried out in the presence of a hydroisomerization catalyst and at least one gas stream comprising hydrogen, such that an effluent rich in isobutene leaves the distillation zone overhead and an effluent rich in 2-butenes leaves the bottom, the process being characterized in that each catalytic bed in the internal portion of the hydroisomerization zone is traversed by an ascending co-current of the gas stream and liquid and is substantially out of contact with the distillation vapor.
摘要:
For the separation of tert. butyl ethyl ether from mixtures with ethanol, there are provided two distillation stages, the first being carried out at a pressure p.sub.1 equal to or higher than 1 bar, the second at a pressure p.sub.2 below p.sub.1 by a value .DELTA.p or 0.5 to 12 bars, p.sub.2 then being 0.5 to 10 bars. The second column distillate is partly supplied as reflux to the head of the second column and is in part recycled to the head of the first column. The purified TBEE is collected at the bottom of the first column and the purified ethanol at the bottom of the second column.This separation process can be integrated into a TBEE production unit comprising etherification by ethanol of the isobutylene contained in a C.sub.4 fraction from a catalytic cracking or steam cracking stage. The ethanol separated from the TBEE is then recycled to the etherification zone.
