    摘要: A propylene oxide separation system comprising a heavies distillation column configured to receive a crude propylene oxide stream and discharge a heavies purge bottoms comprising at least one impurity selected from acetone, methanol, aldehydes, aldehyde derivatives, water, heavy hydrocarbons comprising C 5+ , or combinations thereof, and discharge a heavies distillation column overhead stream comprising a majority of the propylene oxide entering with the crude propylene oxide stream, and a first extractive distillation column configured to receive the heavies distillation column overhead stream and a first extraction solvent stream comprising a hydrocarbon solvent, and discharge a lights purge overhead comprising at least one impurity selected from aldehydes (e.g., acetaldehyde, formaldehyde, etc.) methyl formate, methanol, water, C 3 hydrocarbons, C 4 hydrocarbons, or combinations thereof, and discharge a rich solvent bottoms stream comprising a majority of the propylene oxide entering via the heavies distillation column overhead stream. A propylene oxide purification method is also provided.
