摘要
The solvent is the core of extractive distillation, and a suitable solvent plays an important role in the economical design of extractive distillation. Computer-aided molecular design (CAMD) has been applied to rapidly screen the solvents for separating hydrocarbons by extractive distillation. The systems of propane/propylene, n-butane/l-butene, and n-heptane/benzene, respectively, as the representatives of C3, C4, and C6 hydrocarbons were investigated, and the potential solvents were selected by means of CAMD. The designed results were further proven by experiments and process simulation. The mechanism for separating hydrocarbons by extractive distillation is based on the different fluidities of the electron cloud of C-C (no double bond), C=C (one double bond), and ACH (aromatic carbon ring) bonds and thus different interactions between solvent and hydrocarbon molecules. To improve the separation ability of the main solvent, one strategy is to add some additive that can form hydrogen bonding with the main solvent to make into a mixture.
