Fractional Extraction Process for Recovery of Pure Tar Acids

Abstract: Caustic soda extraction of tar acids from tar distillates has the disadvantages of batch operation and consumption of reagents. A review of the literature showed that continuous solvent extraction methods had been explored using oxygenated solvents. These processes were not too satisfactory, owing to the production of impure tar acids or the necessity of recycling a substantial fraction of the tar acids to obtain a satisfactory recovery.

“…The recovery and recycle of methanol and hexane were demonstrated successfully. A commercial plant (7) at our Newark chemical plant, Pitt-Consol Chemical Co., involving a 3 X 60 foot Scheibel-type extraction column has been in operation for five years with a capacity of 20,000,000 to 25,000,000 pounds of refined cresylic acids. Composite crude cresylic acids from at least 20 different petroleum refineries are processed.…”

“…The liquid pyrolysis products of hexadecane (7, 77) and paraffin wax (5, 13, 14) consist largely of the homologous linear a-olefins together with small amounts of the homologous paraffins. The gaseous products consist principally of methane, ethane, ethylene, and propene (5,7,77). The observed composition of the products in general conforms with the composition predicted from the radical chain decomposition theory of Rice and Kossiakoff (7,8,17).…”
