Abstract

Recovery of aromatics in extract phase which was obtained by batch equilibrium extraction between light cycle oil(LCO) and dimethylsulfoxide(DMSO) solution as solvent was investigated by re-extraction. To select the most suitable re-extraction solvent for recovery of aromatics in extract phase, distribution equilibrium was measured between extract phase and solvents. The solvents used were benzene(B), toluene(T), m-Xylene(mX), n-hexane(Hx) and n-hexane(Hx) and n-Octane(Ot). From the distribution coefficients and yields of aromatics, Hx seemed to be the most suitable. Furthermore, effects of operation parameters for re-extraction of aromatics in the extract phase were studied by batch equilibrium re-extracion with Hx as solvent. Yields of aromatics were found to increase with increasing solvent/feed (extract phase) mass ratio(S/F), while distribution coefficients of aromatics were fixed irrespective of S/F used. Operating temperature did not affect distribution coefficients and yields of aromatics. Distibution coefficients and yields of naphthalene group(carbon numer : 10~12) increased with increasing cabon number. Mass transfer rates of aromatics were also measured with a batch stirred vessel.

접촉분해경유(LCO)와 dimethylsulfoxide(DMSO)수용액의 평형추출로부터 얻어진 추출상을 원료로 사용한 역추출에 의해 추출상중의 방향족의 회수를 검토했다. 역추출 용매의 선정을 위해, Benzene, Toluene, m-Xylene(mX), n-Hexane(Hx)과 n-Octane(Ot)을 용매로 사용하여 추출상-용매간의 분배평형을 측정한 결과, 추출상중의 방향족의 회수면에서 Hx이 가장 적절한 용매이었다. 또, Hx을 용매로 사용하여 평형 역추출을 행해 방향족의 회수에 대한 조작인자의 영향을 검토했다. 방향족에 대한 분배계수는 용매/원료(추출상) 질량비(S/F)(S/F를 변화시켜 얻어진 추잔상 혹은 추출상중의 질량분율)에 관계없이 일정했으나 수율은 S/F가 증가함에 따라 증가했다. 조작온도는 방향족의 분배계수와 수율에 영향을 미치지 못했다. 나프탈렌류 성분(탄소수:10~12)간에는 탄소수가 많을수록 분배계수 및 수율이 컸다. 또한, 회분 교반조를 사용하여 역추출을 행해 방향족 성분의 물질이동 속도를 측정했다.
