Bio-based solvents as entrainers for extractive distillation in aromatic/aliphatic and olefin/paraffin separation

The use of a wide range of bio-based solvents as entrainers in extractive distillation applications was investigated. The separation of hydrocarbon mixtures containing aromatic and aliphatic compounds is highly relevant, and the use of bio-based solvents for this separation was studied by Boelo Schuur and Thomas Brouwer using the model ...
