Abstract

As a part of improving the quality of crude methylnaphthalene (CMNO), this study was experimentally examined the reduction of nitrogen-containing compounds (NC) present in the CMNO by solvent extraction. The CMNO was composed of three kinds of NC [quinolone (QU), iso-quinoline (IQU), indole (IN)], three kinds of bicyclic aromatic compound [BAC; naphthalene (NA), 1-methylnaphthalene (1MNA), 2-methylnaphthalene (2MNA)] and biphenyl (BP) etc., in addition to an aqueous formamide solution, which were used as raw materials and a solvent, respectively. The increase in the volume fraction of water to the solvent in the initial state (yw,0) caused a sharp decrease in the distribution coefficient and the yield of NC, but conversely raised the increased selectivity of NC based on 2MNA. The compositions of QU, IQU and IN in the raffinate oil recovered through the equilibrium extraction of batch co-current 5-stage under constant conditions [yw,0 = 0.1, volume fraction of solvent to feed (CMNO) at the initial state = 1, operating temperature = 303 K, liquid-liquid contacting time = 72 h] were reduced by about 51.5%, 55.2%, and 71.8%, respectively, when compared to those of CMNO. From the excellent reduction rate of NC, the formamide extraction method suggested in this study can be expected to be a useful reduction method for NC contained in the CMNO.

조제 메틸나프탈렌유(CMNO)의 품질향상의 일환으로, 본 연구는 포름아미드 추출에 의한 CMNO에 함유된 함 질소화합물(NC)의 저감을 실험적으로 검토했다. 원료로서는 3종류의 NC [퀴놀린(QU), 이소퀴놀린(IQU), 인돌(IN)], 3종류의 2환 방향족화합물[BAC; 나프탈렌(NA), 1-메틸나프탈렌(1MNA), 2-메틸나프탈렌(2MNA)]과 비페닐(BP) 등이 함유된 CMNO를, 용매로서는 포름아미드 수용액을 각각 사용했다. 초기 용매에 함유된 물의 체적분율(yw,0)의 증가는 3종류의 NC의 분배계수와 수율을 급격히 감소시켰으나, 역으로 2MNA을 기준한 NC의 선택도를 증가시켰다. 일정한 조건[yw,0 = 0.1, 초기 원료(CMNO)에 대한 용매의 체적분율 = 1, 조작온도 = 303 K, 액-액 접촉시간 = 72 h]하의 회분 병류 5단 평형추출을 통해 회수된 추잔유 중의 QU, IQU와 IN의 조성은 CMNO에 비해 각각 약 51.5%, 55.2%와 71.8% 저감되었다. 본 연구를 통해 나타난 우수한 NC의 저감율로부터 본 연구의 포름아미드 추출법은 CMNO에 함유된 NC의 저감법으로 기대되었다.
