Separation, by distillation with acetic acid, of the aromatic hydrocarbons from the fraction of a midcontinent petroleum boiling between 154 and 162 C

Abstract: A method is presented for the separation, by distillation with an azeotropie agent, acetic acid, of narrow-boiling petroleum fractions into concentrates containing (1) a mixture of paraffins and naphthenes and (2) the aromatic hydrocarbons. This procedure simplifies the subsequent task of separating the individual components and is applicable to p etrol eum fractions boiling in the range 130 0 to 175 0 C. Data are given on the behavior of synthetic mixtures of n-nonane and isopropylbenzene with acetic acid. Ex… Show more

“…A binary mixture in which the paraffin hydrocarbon is the lower-,; boiling component and the naphthene the higher can usually be readily resolved by azeotropic distillation [23,25,26]. Methyl alcohol was selected as the azeotropic agent here because it was known to form azeotropic mixtures with both naphthenes and paraffins [11,3,24,27,28] and it had served to concentrate naphthenic material from the fraction boiling at 91.8 0 C (see sections II and III).…”
