摘要:
A process for the separation of diisobutylene from tertiary butyl alcohol utilizing pressure swing azeotropic distillation to achieve the desired separation. The pressure swing azeotropic distillation takes advantage of the fact that different azeotropes are formed at different pressures. Isobutylene in C4 streams is oligomerized in the presence of tertiary butyl alcohol to produce the diisobutylene. Tertiary butyl alcohol is present in the dimerization because it improves the selectivity to the dimer (diisobutylene) by suppressing further reaction to the trimer or higher. The diisobutylene is separated from the tertiary butyl alcohol utilizing two distillation columns (20, 30). The first distillation is operated at a higher pressure than the second such that the minimum boiling azeotropes of tertiary butyl alcohol and diisobutylene have different concentrations of tertiary butyl alcohol. Diisobutylene is removed as bottoms (107) from the first distillation column and unreacted C4's are removed as overheads (105) at 60-130 psig . A side draw (106) containing the minimum boiling azeotrope is fed to the second distillation column (30), operated at 0-45 psig where a second minimum boiling azeotrope is formed having a lower tertiary butyl alcohol concentration. The tertiary butyl alcohol is recovered as bottoms (109) and recycled to the reactor (10). The second minimum boiling azeotrope is removed as overheads (108) and recycled to the first distillation column (20).

An environmentally friendly closed loop manufacturing process (101, 102) produces microporous membranes (32) by cast or extrusion of polymer-plasticizer mixtures followed by non-porous film formation (20), extraction (22) of the plasticizer using an azeotrope solvent and thereby forming a solvent-laden sheet and a mixture of plasticizer and azeotrope solvent, distillation (28) of the mixture to separate the plasticizer and azeotrope solvent for reuse, evaporation (30) of the azeotrope solvent from the solvent-laden sheet to form the micropores, and capture of the resultant solvent vapor for subsequent adsorption-desorption of the azeotrope solvent from activated carbon (34) or by vapor condensation (36) for reuse in the manufacturing process. The azeotrope solvent is at least a two-component mixture of solvents, one of which is designed for efficient removal of the plasticizer, while the other component(s) render(s) the azeotrope solvent non-flammable.
摘要:
A method of desalinating an aqueous composition includes forming a hetero-azeotrope mixture by combining the aqueous composition with an entrainer, the aqueous composition including at least one salt, and subjecting the hetero-azeotrope mixture to distillation at a distillation temperature of less than the boiling temperature of the aqueous composition for an operating distillation pressure, resulting in separating the hetero-azeotrope mixture into a distillation bottoms liquid and a multi-phase condensate. The method includes recovering the multi-phase condensate having an entrainer-rich phase and an aqueous phase, the aqueous phase comprising desalinated water, and removing a portion of the aqueous phase from the multi-phase condensate to recover the desalinated water. Systems for conducting the method of desalinating an aqueous stream are also disclosed.

摘要:
A process and a column configuration for dehydration of an aqueous dilution of a compound forming an azeotrope with water, such as raw grade bioethanol, formic acid or chloroform, to form a concentrate with a concentration above azeotropic level. A preconcentration section (26, 40, 55) with a reboiler (29, 42, 57) and an extractive distillation section (22, 41, 52) are thermally coupled. The aqueous dilution is fed to the preconcentration section, where it is separated into water and a preconcentrate. The water is discharged via the reboiler, and the preconcentrate is fed to the extractive distillation section. A solvent is fed to the extractive distillation section at a higher level than the preconcentrate. In the extractive distillation section the final concentrate is separated from a mixture of the solvent and water.
