    摘要: A cryogenic technique for recovering pure products from a mixture of at least three close-boiling components. A preferred process is provided for separating a hydrocarbon mixture containing an alkene (i.e. ethene or propene), corresponding alkane having the same number of carbon atoms and at least one heavier hydrocarbon component. The improved process comprises: feeding the hydrocarbon mixture to a first distillation tower having an upper reflux stage; recovering a first overhead vapor stream rich in alkene and alkane from the first distillation tower and passing the first overhead vapor stream to a middle distillation stage of a second multi-stage distillation tower; recovering a second overhead vapor stream rich in alkene from the second distillation tower; adiabatically compressing the alkene-rich vapor stream and passing the compressed vapor to a second distillation tower reboiler stage. This provides a heat pump for cooling and condensing the compressed vapor and heating a liquid reboiler stream. Pressure in the alkene stream is reduced by flashing cooled and condensed vapor from the reboiler stage to provide a partially vaporized flashed mixture stream rich in alkene, followed by recovering and separating the flashed mixture stream to provide recovering a liquid portion and vapor portion. The liquid portion is passed to a second distillation tower reflux stage and a pure alkene stream is recovered.

    摘要: A distillation process and apparatus for recovering high purity aromatic products from a mixed aromatic hydrocarbon feedstock containing benzene, toluene and xylene by use of distillation towers integrated by heat exchange whereby substantial savings in operating costs and apparatus costs are realized. The distillation apparatus includes a benzene distillation tower and heat exchanger, a first toluene distillation tower and external heater, a second toluene distillation tower and heat exchanger and a xylene distillation tower and external heater, whereby the benzene distillation tower and heat exchanger are operably connected to the first toluene distillation tower and external heater and the second toluene distillation tower and heat exchanger are operably connected to the xylene distillation tower and external heater. A feature of the integrated method and apparatus is the utilization of the overhead fraction from the first toluene distillation tower as the source of reboil heat in the benzene distillation tower, and the utilization of the overhead fraction from the xylene distillation tower as the source of reboil heat in the second toluene distillation tower. Another feature of the integrated method and apparatus of the invention is the operation of the first toluene distillation tower at an elevated temperature and pressure and the operation of the second toluene distillation at a lower temperature and pressure.

    摘要: There is disclosed a process for recovering olefin monomers, e.g., C.sub.3 -C.sub.10 alpha-olefins, from a vent gas of a vapor phase process for polymerizing olefins. The method comprises passing the vent gas, obtained by purging a resin produced in the polymerization process with an inert gas, such as nitrogen, into contact with an adsorbent to effect the adsorption of an olefin monomer. Subsequently, the adsorbed monomer is removed by contacting the adsorbent with a second monomer having lower molecular weight than the adsorbed monomer.
