Abstract:
A method is provided for separating a C4 fraction (2) by means of extractive distillation using a selective solvent (1) by way of counter-flow of the C4 fraction (2) and of the selective solvent (1) in a liquid phase in a distillation unit (K I, K II), while separating a head flow (3) comprising the butanes and butenes from the C4 fraction and a bottom flow (6) comprising the selective solvent and the remaining components of the C4 fraction, with the exception of the butanes and butenes, the selective solvent being outgased from the fraction in an additional step, characterized in that energy is extracted from the distillation unit (K I, K II) between the extraction point for the head flow (3) and the extraction point for the bottom flow (6).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a device (100) for preparing a substance stream (1.1) containing hydrogen and methane, comprising the following components: (i) at least one heat exchanger (KS1) for cooling a substance stream (1.1) to be prepared; (ii) at least one separating unit (A, A1, A2, A2') for purifying the substance stream (3) to be prepared into a hydrogen and methane-rich substance stream (5); (iii) at least one cooling unit (KS2) for cooling the hydrogen and methane-rich substance stream (5); and (iv) at least one cryogenic gas separating unit (KS3) for separating the hydrogen and methane-rich substance stream (6) into at least one hydrogen-rich substance stream (7) and at least one methane-rich substance stream (8, 9). The invention further relates to a method for preparing a substance stream.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for regenerating a supported hydrogenation catalyst containing ruthenium, wherein the catalyst is treated with steam and subsequently dried. The invention further relates to an integrated method for hydrogenating benzene to form cyclohexane in the presence of a supported catalyst containing ruthenium, comprising the catalyst regeneration steps in addition to the hydrogenation step.
Abstract:
Verfahren zur destillativen Gewinnung von Rein-1,3-Butadien aus Roh-1,3-Butadien in einer Anlage mit einer oder mehreren Destillationskolonnen, mit Zuführung eines Feedstroms aus Roh-1,3-Butadien zu der einen oder der ersten der mehreren Destillationskolonnen, wobei die eine oder die mehreren Destillationskolonnen Flansche mit einem Innendurchmesser von ≥ 80 mm aufweisen, umfassend zwei einander gegenüberliegende planparallele Flächen (1), mit einer dazwischen angeordneten Dichtung (2), die den Innenraum der einen oder der ersten der mehreren Destillationskolonnen gegenüber einem atmosphärenseitigen Zwischenraum (3) zwischen den beiden einander gegenüberliegenden planparallelen Flächen (1) abdichtet, und wobei der atmosphärenseitige Zwischenraum (3) zwischen den beiden einander gegenüberliegenden planparallelen Flächen (1) zur Atmosphäre hin unter Ausbildung einer Kammer geschlossen wird, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die Kammer kontinuierlich während des Betriebs der Anlage mit einem sauerstoffarmen Gas oder einer sauerstoffarmen Flüssigkeit enthaltend 1 Gew.-% molekularen Sauerstoff oder weniger, bezogen auf das Gesamtgewicht des sauerstoffarmen Gases oder der sauerstoffarmen Flüssigkeit, gespült wird.
Abstract:
A process is proposed for distillatively obtaining pure 1,3-butadiene from crude 1,3-butadiene in a plant comprising one or more distillation columns, comprising supply of a feed stream of crude 1,3-butadiene to the one distillation column or the first of the plurality of distillation columns, the one distillation column or the plurality of distillation columns having a flange with an internal diameter of ≧80 mm, comprising two mutually opposite plane-parallel surfaces (1) with an intermediate seal (2) which seals the interior of the one distillation column or of the first of the plurality of distillation columns from an intermediate space (3) on the atmosphere side between the two mutually opposite plane-parallel surfaces (1), and the intermediate space (3) on the atmosphere side between the two mutually opposite plane-parallel surfaces (1) being closed off from the atmosphere to form a chamber, wherein the chamber is purged continuously during the operation of the plant with a low-oxygen gas or a low-oxygen liquid comprising 1% by weight of molecular oxygen or less, based on the total weight of the low-oxygen gas or of the low-oxygen liquid.
