    Abstract: A process for separating, by means of a selective solvent, a mixture of C4-hydrocarbons which contains some hydrocarbons which are more soluble in the selective solvent and some which are less soluble therein and recovering the selective solvent in a solvent recovery zone, which process comprises: separating the hydrocarbon mixture, in an extractive distillation zone, into a top product which contains the less soluble hydrocarbons and an extract which contains the more soluble hydrocarbons and the selective solvent, bringing the extract taken off the extractive distillation zone to a higher pressure than the pressure in the extractive distillation zone, heating the extract which is under this higher pressure in a heat exchange zone, by indirect heat exchange with the selective solvent obtained as the bottom product from the solvent recovery zone, subjecting the heated extract to a flash evaporation and letting down the heated extract, in the flash evaporation, to a pressure which is at least equal to the pressure in the extractive distillation zone and is higher than the pressure in the solvent recovery zone, recycling the vapor component of the extract obtained from the flash evaporation to the extractive distillation zone whilst the liquid phase remaining after the flash evaporation is fed to the solvent recovery zone, separating the liquid phase obtained from the flash evaporation in the solvent recovery zone into a product containing the hydrocarbons and, as the bottom product, the selective solvent which has been freed from the hydrocarbons, recycling the resulting selective solvent via the heat exchange zone to the extractive distillation zone, and recycling the product which is obtained from the solvent recovery zone and contains the hydrocarbons partially or, where appropriate,completely to the extractive distillation zone, after increasing the pressure in a compression zone.

    Abstract: A process for removing condensable aliphatic hydrocarbons and acidic gases such as H2S, CO2 and COS from natural gas containing these, wherein the natural gas is initially treated with polyethylene glycol dialkyl ethers, as the solvent, in a first absorption stage to effect absorption of the condensable aliphatic hydrocarbons; the natural gas drawn off from the first absorption stage is then treated with polyethylene glycol dialkyl ethers, as the solvent, under superatmospheric pressure in a second absorption stage, the acidic gases being completely or partly absorbed; the solvent charged with the condensable aliphatic hydrocarbons which is obtained from the first absorption stage is treated with water in an extraction stage, to form a hydrocarbon phase containing the condensable aliphatic hydrocarbons and an aqueous dialkyl ether phase, and the hydrocarbon phase is separated from the aqueous dialkyl ether phase. The solvent charged with acid gases which is obtained from the second absorption stage is regenerated by expansion and/or stripping in a regeneration stage and the regenerated solvent is recycled to the absorption.
