    摘要: A process for producing paraxylene is provided. The process includes separating a first mixture of C8 aromatic hydrocarbons in a simulated moving bed apparatus using a desorbent to produce (i) an extract comprising ≧50.0 wt % of the paraxylene in the first mixture; (ii) a desorbent-rich raffinate comprising ≧75 wt % of the desorbent withdrawn, and (iii) an desorbent-lean raffinate comprising ≦25 wt % of the desorbent withdrawn in the desorbent-rich and desorbent-lean raffinates. The desorbent-lean raffinate can then, without an intervening separation step, be passed to a refinery process or a vapor phase isomerization reaction to produce an effluent comprising paraxylene in a greater concentration than the desorbent-lean raffinate. The desorbent-rich raffinate can be passed to a liquid phase isomerization reaction to produce an effluent comprising paraxylene in a greater concentration than the desorbent-rich raffinate.

    摘要: A process for producing para-xylene (PX) comprises supplying a hydrocarbon feed comprising xylenes and ethylbenzene (EB) to a PX recovery unit, where a PX-rich stream and at least one PX-depleted stream are recovered from the feed. The PX-depleted stream is then separated into an EB-rich stream and an EB-depleted stream in a divided wall column. The EB-depleted stream is then isomerized under at least partial liquid phase conditions to produce a first isomerized stream having a higher PX concentration than the PX-depleted stream, and the EB-rich stream is isomerized under at least partial vapor phase conditions to produce a second isomerized stream having a higher PX concentration than the PX-depleted stream. The first and second isomerized streams are then recycled to the PX recovery unit to recover additional PX and the process is repeated to define a so-called xylene isomerization loop.

    摘要: A simulated moving bed process using dual, parallel rotary valves configured or plumbed to be operated independently in which the step times of the rotary valves are staggered. In embodiments, the second rotary valve is programmed to step about halfway through the step time of the first rotary valve. Staggering the step time of the parallel rotary valves, rather than utilizing simultaneous stepping, results in increased net composite paraxylene concentration of the extract stream, allowing for increased capacity of the simulated moving bed process and/or reduced energy consumption.

    摘要: A process is described for separating paraxylene from a multicomponent fluid mixture of C8 aromatics, and more particularly to a process for separating paraxylene from such a fluid mixture by means of adsorption apparatus, such as moving-bed or simulated moving-bed adsorption apparatus. A process is also described for making paraxylene by making a mixture of C8 aromatics and separating paraxylene from the mixture by means of a simulated moving-bed adsorption apparatus.
