Using the limiting activity coefficients of the components of binary systems of N-methylpyrrolidone with n-alkanes and the conditions for the formation of azeotropes, it is found that N-methylpyrrolidone forms azeotropic mixtures with n-alkanes С9 - С 15, with alkylbenzenes С 10 - С 12 and with naphthalene. The formation of azeotropes with saturated hydrocarbons with a boiling point of 230-270 ° C must be taken into account when developing a technological scheme for the N-methylpyrrolidone regeneration unit, and also not to use this extractant for extraction purification of raw materials with a boiling point below 230 ° C
The results of the extraction cleaning of light and heavy vacuum gas-oils from polycycloarenes, organic sulfur and nitrogen-containing compounds are given. The cleaning was carried through with dimethylformamide and Nmethylpyrrolidone as entrainers in multi-stage countercurrent extraction at the rotary-disc extractor.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
