Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the application of an ionic liquid, in particular to the application of an ionic liquid as a solvent in the process of separating benzene and cyclohexane by extraction and rectification. Background technique
[0002] In the petroleum processing industry, benzene and cyclohexane have similar boiling points (benzene is 80.1°C and cyclohexane is 80.74°C), and their relative volatility is close to 1, so it is difficult to separate them by ordinary rectification. The number of theoretical plates is large, or a large reflux ratio is required, and the operating cost is much higher than the separation of the general system.
[0003] Table 1 lists the approximate number of theoretical plates required to separate systems with different relative volatilities by ordinary distillation under certain separation requirements. It can be seen that the greater the relative volatility of the system, the easier it is to separate. If the relative v...
