    摘要: Methods and systems are provided for recovering an organic solvent from a waste sludge generated during formation of a polyarylene sulfide. Methods include combining the waste sludge with a liquid extractant that extracts the organic solvent into a homogeneous liquid phase. Upon a temperature change, the homogeneous liquid phase can separate into an organic solvent-rich liquid phase and a liquid extractant-rich liquid phase. The two liquid phases can be separated and further processed if desired to further purify the recovered organic solvent. Methods can also include forming the polyarylene sulfide by a polymerization process and thereafter purifying a slurry of the polyarylene sulfide. A liquid washing product is formed as a result of the purification process, which can be subjected to a distillation process that forms an organic solvent-rich stream and the waste sludge.

    摘要: Disclosed is a method for separating a plurality of chemical components from a chemical mixture comprising a plurality of fluorinated fluids, the method comprising: • a step of identifying, in the chemical mixture, at least two sub-mixtures, each complex sub-mixture being associated either with a first group for secondary pressure swing distillation or with a second group (G2) for secondary extractive distillation, • a step of primary distillation, using a main column, so as to separate each identified sub-mixture, • a secondary distillation step, using the same advanced unit of two auxiliary columns, for distilling each complex sub-mixture, the complex sub-mixtures of the first group being separated by the pressure swing distillation method and the complex sub-mixtures of the second group being separated by the extractive distillation method.

    摘要: A process for the production of diisopropyl ether from high purity propylene without the need of a propane-propylene fractionation column has been developed. The process involves (1) reacting a high purity propylene feedstock and water to produce isopropyl alcohol in a reactor and reacting the isopropyl alcohol with propylene to produce diisopropyl ether in the presence of an acidic ion exchange resin catalyst and a C4 diluent to generate a reactor effluent stream containing at least water, isopropyl alcohol, diisopropyl ether, propylene, and acid, (2) passing the reactor effluent to an acid removal zone to produce an acid-depleted stream, (3) dividing the acid-depleted stream into two portions, (4) recycling a portion to the reactor (5) purging a portion to prevent propane build-up and (6) recovering product diisopropyl alcohol.
