• Solvent Recovery Column

Question 9

Hydrocarbon feed is _____ and fed at a mid-point into the EDC

Answer 9

preheated with hot circulating solvent

Question 10

_____ is fed at an upper point and selectively extracts thenaromatics into the tower bottoms in a vapor liquid distillation operation.

Answer 10

Lean solvent

Question 12

The _____ exit from the top of the column. A portion of the overhead stream is returned to then top of the column as reflux, which washes back any entrained solvent.

Answer 12

non-aromatics hydrocarbons

Question 13

Rich solvent from the bottom of the EDC is _____, where the aromatics are stripped overhead. The SRC is operated under a vacuum to reduce the boiling point at the bottom of the column.

Answer 13

routed to the SRC

Question 14

_____ is passed through a heat exchanger before returning to the EDC, a small portion of the lean circulating solvent is processed in a solvent regeneration step to remove heavy decomposition products

Answer 14

Lean solvent from the bottom of the SRC

Question 15

The SRC overhead mixed aromatics product is routed to the purification section, where it is fractionated to produce _____

Answer 15

• chemical-grade benzene
• toluene
• xylenes

Question 16
