Problems solved by technology

However, the boiling points of these two products are very close (i.e. 139.12°C and 144.41°C, respectively), which makes it very difficult to separate the two compounds by distillation, requiring a large number of sieve plates with at least about 150-200 column
In addition, if the mixed meta-xylene and ortho-xylene stream for which separation is sought contains impurities para-xylene and ethylbenzene, these impurities will be concentrated in meta-xylene, making it difficult to achieve a purity of meta-xylene greater than 99.0%

Abstract

A process for the co-production of m-xylene and p-xylene from hydrocarbon feedstocks is described, which involves two separate steps. The first separation step of the method is a simulated moving bed system in a countercurrent manner in the chromatographic column. The chromatographic column contains at least five sections, including continuous or intermittent injection of material, injection of desorbent, extraction of extract, raffinate and intermediate raffinate. Distill the extract to obtain p-xylene with a purity of at least 99.7%. The raffinate rich in m-xylene is distilled to extract the desorbent, and then injected into the countercurrent simulated moving bed to continuously provide the extract and raffinate. One of these two streams is rich in m-xylene. Distillation of the most m-xylene-rich stream yields m-xylene with a purity greater than 99%.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a process for the co-production of para-xylene and meta-xylene from a hydrocarbon material containing para-xylene and meta-xylene, the process comprising two stages of separation. Background technique [0002] The production of high-purity p-xylene by adsorption separation is well known in the prior art. This market has been greatly developed and they are aimed at the production of terephthalic acid, phthalic anhydride and polyethylene terephthalate resins. The market for m-xylene, on the contrary, is limited and its purpose is the production of isophthalic acid. However, processes for the production of high-purity meta-xylene are known from the prior art, eg US 4 326 092, US 5 382 747 and US 5 900 523. Recently, it has been learned that adding a small amount of polyethylene isophthalate to polyethylene terephthalate can improve the properties of polyethylene terephthalate. Therefore, there has become a lot of intere...
