Benefits of technology

This new method solves problems associated with conventional methods by creating an improved liquid film technique for separating mixtures containing different components from each other without losing their ability to pass through during processing or causing contamination issues over longer periods. It also provides greater efficiency than current techniques while reducing energy usage compared to existing processes.

Problems solved by technology

Technological Problem addressed in this patented Patent describes various technical problem areas related to efficient separation of organosilicon compounds from crude oil streams such as naphthas during petroleum refining operations due to their unique structure and composition. Current technologies require expensive equipment and involve complicated steps like extraction and purification techniques which result in lower yields compared to desired products.

Embodiment 1

[0021] use figure 1 For the device shown, the structural parameters of the hollow fiber membrane used are shown in the following table:

[0022] Table 1. Structural parameters of hollow fiber membranes

[0023] Membrane inner diameter / m Membrane length / m Membrane number Membrane outer diameter / mm Membrane inner diameter / mm Membrane material 0.155 0.3 22 1.38 0.79 Polyvinylidene fluoride

[0024] Prepare a mixture of toluene and n-heptane with a toluene concentration of 0.368g / ml (50wt.%) as the material liquid phase, and use the ionic liquid [Bmim][BF 4 ] As the extraction agent, n-dodecane is the stripping phase, and the volume of the stripping phase and the feed liquid phase is 150ml.

[0025] First circulate the extractant through the tube side of the hollow fiber membrane device, and adjust the tube side pressure to be higher than the shell side pressure to ensure that the micropores of the hollow fiber membrane are filled with the extractant

Embodiment 2

[0029] Other operating conditions were the same as in Example 1, except that the temperature of the stripping phase was changed to 50° C., and the concentration of toluene in the liquid phase was changed to 0.599 g / ml (75 wt.%). After 12 hours of treatment, the mass transfer flux of toluene is 140.2g m -2 h -1 , the separation factor was 14.5, and the toluene in the mixture of toluene and n-heptane separated from the stripping phase accounted for 95.6 wt.%, which was 20.6 percentage points higher than that in the feed liquid phase.

Embodiment 3

[0031] Other operating conditions are the same as in Example 1, the inlet flow of the liquid phase is changed to 25ml / min, the inlet flow of the stripping phase is changed to 64ml / min, and the temperature of the stripping phase is changed to 50°C. After 12 hours of treatment, the mass transfer flux of toluene is 44.5g m -2h -1 , the separation factor was 20.7, and the toluene in the mixed liquid of toluene and n-heptane separated from the stripping phase accounted for 97.6 wt.%, which was 47.6 percentage points higher than that in the feed liquid phase.

Abstract

The invention provides a method for separating aromatic hydrocarbon from alkane by ionic liquid and membrane process coupling technology. The method includes that a hollow fiber membrane component is used as an extraction and separation device, ionic liquid is filled in pores of a hollow fiber membrane to form extract, aromatic hydrocarbon and alkane mixed liquor and a back-extraction phase respectively flow in a tube pass and a shell pass of the hollow fiber membrane in parallel or reversely, aromatic hydrocarbon is preferentially transferred to the back-extraction phase via the extract owing to the difference between the solubility of the aromatic hydrocarbon and the solubility of alkane in the ionic liquid, and the purpose of separating the aromatic hydrocarbon from the alkane is achieved. The method has the advantages of good selectivity, high mass transfer efficiency, low dosage of extracting solvent, simplicity in technological process, high stability and the like.
