摘要:
m-Xylene is difficult to separate from o-xylene by conventional rectification or distillation because of the close proximity of their boiling points. m-Xylene can be readily separated from o-xylene by using extractive distillation in which the extractive agent is ethyl-2-hydroxybenzoate; methyl benzoate plus benzophenone; methyl benzoate, butyl benzoate and dimethylsulfoxide.

Impure formic acid cannot be completely removed from formic acid-water-impurity mixtures by distillation because of the presence of the maximum azeotrope between formic acid and water. Formic acid can be readily removed from mixtures containing it, water and impurities of the ether, ester, ketone or diketone type by using extractive distillation in which the extractive agent is a higher boiling oxygenated, nitrogenous or sulfur containing organic compound or a mixture of these. Examples of effective agents are adiponitrile; sulfolane and salicyclic acid; dimethylformamide, N,N-dimethylacetamide and ethylene glycol ethyl ether acetate.

m-Xylene is difficult to separate from o-xylene by conventional distillation or rectification because of the close proximity of their boiling points. m-Xylene can be readily separated from o-xylene by using extractive distillation in which the extractive agent is adiponitrile or a mixture of it with certain high boiling organic compounds. Typical examples of effective agents are: adiponitrile; adiponitrile and 1,4-butanediol; adiponitrile, ethylene carbonate and benzyl alcohol.

Water cannot be completely removed from ethanol by distillation because of the presence of the minimum azeotrope. Ethanol can be readily dehydrated by using extractive distillation in which the water is removed as overhead product and the ethanol and extractive agent as bottoms and subsequently separated by conventional rectification. Typical examples of suitable extractive agents are hexahydrophthalic anhydride; methyl tetrahydrophthalic anhydride and pentanol-1; trimellitic anhydride, ethyl salicylate and resorcinol.

n-Propyl acetate cannot be completely removed from n-propyl acetate - n-propanol - water mixtures by distillation because of the presence of the minimum ternary azeotrope. n-Propyl acetate can be readily removed from mixtures containing it, n-propanol and water by using extractive distillation in which the extractive distillation agent is a higher boiling oxygenated, nitrogenous and/or sulfur containing organic compound or a mixture of these. Examples of effective agents are N,N-dimethylacetamide; acetamide and triethylene glycol; acetamide and N,N-dimethylacetamide and triethanolamine.

Isopropyl ether cannot be completely removed from isopropyl ether-isopropanol-water mixtures by distillation because of the presence of the minimum ternary azeotrope. Isopropyl ether can be readily removed from mixtures containing it, isopropanol and water by using extractive distillation in which the extractive distillation agent is dimethylsulfoxide with or without a mixture of higher boiling oxygenated and/or nitrogenous organic compounds. Typical examples are dimethylsulfoxide; dimethylsulfoxide and ethylene glycol; dimethylsulfoxide, dimethylformamide and 1,4-butanediol.

Isopropyl ether cannot be completely removed from isopropyl ether-acetone mixtures by distillation because of the presence of the minimum binary azeotrope. Isopropyl ether can be readily removed from mixtures containing it and acetone by using extractive distillation in which the extractive distillation agent is a higher boiling oxygenated, nitrogenous and/or sulfur containing compound or a mixture of these. Typical examples of effective agents are: dimethylsulfoxide; sulfolane and propylene glycol; adiponitrile, glycerine and ethylene glycol.

n-Butyl acetate cannot be completely removed from n-butyl acetate - n-butanol - water mixtures by distillation because of the presence of the minimum ternary azeotrope. n-Butyl acetate can be readily removed from mixtures containing it, n-butanol and water by using extractive distillation in which the extractive distillation agent is a higher boiling oxygenated, nitrogenous and/or sulfur containing organic compound or a mixture of these. Typical examples of effective agents are dimethylsulfoxide; dimethylsulfoxide and 1,4-butanediol; dimethylsulfoxide, dimethylformamide and 1,6-hexanediol.

2-Butyl acetate cannot be completely removed from 2-butyl acetate-2-butanol-water mixtures by distillation because of the presence of the minimum ternary azeotrope. 2-butyl acetate can be readily removed from mixtures containing it, 2-butanol and water by using extractive distillation in which the extractive distillation agent is a higher boiling oxygenated, nitrogenous and/or sulfur containing organic compound or a mixture of these. Typical examples of effective agents are N,N-dimethylacetamide; dimethylformamide and ethylene glycol; acetamide, dimethylsulfoxide and ethylene glycol.
