Process for separation of metaxylene, with at least 99% by weight of purity of an aromatic feedstock F, in a single adsorption stage in a simulated moving bed in an SMB device that comprises 12, 13 or 15 adsorbent beds with different numbers of beds being employed in zone 1 between the supply of the desorbent D and the draw-off of the extract E; zone 2 between the draw-off of the extract E and the supply of the feedstock F; zone 3 between the supply of the feedstock and the draw-off of the raffinate R; and zone 4 between the draw-off of the raffinate R and the supply of the desorbent D whereby the process is carried out according to a configuration of zones (a, b, c, d), whereby a, b, c, and d represent the number of adsorbent beds that operate respectively in zones 1, 2, 3, 4 in which there is used: Either an SMB of 12 adsorbent beds operating according to the configuration (2, 5, 3, 2), Or an SMB of 13 adsorbent beds operating according to the configuration (2, 5, 4, 2), Or an SMB of 15 adsorbent beds operating according to the configuration (2, 6, 4, 3).
摘要:
The present invention relates to a method of producing hydrogen of very high purity from a feed predominantly containing said hydrogen and a minor part of impurities mainly consisting of carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, methane and heavier hydrocarbons.The purification method by hydrogen adsorption using a desorption stage at a lower pressure than the pressure of the feed, such as a PSA method for example, allows to produce the desorption stream and notably to recover the carbon dioxide under pressure and high-purity hydrogen, with a high yield.These performances are obtained by combining the successive stages of the method according to the invention with the use of a new family of adsorbent whose dynamic capacity at a high desorption pressure is greater than that of conventional adsorbents.

The invention concerns a process for producing high purity meta-xylene, comprising a step for separation by simulated moving bed adsorption starting from an aromatic C8 feed delivering a fraction which is rich in meta-xylene and a fraction which is depleted in meta-xylene, and a step for crystallization of the meta-xylene rich fraction. The purity of the meta-xylene produced is at least 99.5%.

摘要:
A process for co-producing para-xylene and styrene from a feed (1) of hydrocarbons containing xylenes and ethylbenzene is described, the process comprising the following succession of steps: a step for separating the feed in a simulated moving bed in an adsorption column (6) containing beds of an adsorbent, from which an extract that is rich in para-xylene (7a) of at least 99.7% purity and at least one raffinate (7b) containing ethylbenzene, ortho-xylene, meta-xylene and a very small quantity of para-xylene is withdrawn; a step for dehydrogenating (10) the ethylbenzene contained in the raffinate (7b) to styrene; at least one step for primary separation of the stream (11) from the dehydrogenation step (10), to eliminate by-products; a step for separating the purified mixture (18) derived from the stream (11) containing styrene, unconverted ethylbenzene, meta-xylene and ortho-xylene, from which a stream (21a) that is rich in styrene of at least 99.8% purity and a stream (21b) containing unconverted ethylbenzene, meta-xylene and ortho-xylene is withdrawn; and a step for isomerising the stream (21b), the effluent being recycled to the adsorption column (6).
