U5000 Vs. N-Formylmorpholine

Decent Essays
The purpose of U5000 is to separate aromatics from non-aromatics by extracting benzene and toluene from raffinate by means of the solvent N-Formylmorpholine (NFM). Its feed is light reformate coming from reformate splitter (C-A3001). Morphylane has a design capacity of 86 m3/hr.
Overhead stream (C7-) of Raffinate splitter is heated and then it enters the extractive distillation column (C-A5001) to separate benzene and toluene from non aromatics. The aromatics are recovered by means of the solvent NFM. The vapor pressures are changed by adding NFM in such a way that non-aromatics can be removed by distillation from benzene and toluene as overhead product (raffinate) which sent to storage tanks. Rich solvent enters stripper column (C-A5002) and

    The two extraction methods were liquid-liquid extraction and solid phase extraction. This lab had some difficulties due to the less than ideal separation the of cocaine and doxepin peaks on chromatograms. The proposed idea was to change the parameters used in the GC/MS instrument to possibly obtain better separation. The part of that lab that would be specifically focused in on is the solid phase extraction. This extraction involves an elution step involving methanol as the solvent.…

    In this experiment, pinacol was mixed with sulfuric acid, which protonated the pinacol, allowing it to form a better leaving group. Water is the leaving group off of the pinacol and the pinacol becomes a carbocation. The carbocation that is formed is a secondary carbocation so, rearrangement occurs. A methyl shift happens to form a tertiary carbocation, which is more stable than a secondary carbocation. Then, the remaining oxygen forms a double bond causing it to have a positive charge; allowing the carbon that had a positive charge to have a full octet and to be neutral.…

    This new mixture was named Master Solution. Next, the pipet was rinsed three times with small amounts of the master solution. The pipet was then used to pipet 10.00 mL of the master solution into a clean, dry 250 mL Erlenmeyer flask. This step was repeated until three flasks were filled with 10 mL of the master solution each. Following the filling of the flasks, the pipet was rinsed three times with distilled water and three times with small amounts of hydrochloric acid.…

    In solvent extraction the flakes, or soy flour in some cases, are soaked in a solvent such as hexane. The dissolved oil combines with the solvent to form a miscella mixture which is removed through evaporation. After the solvent is mostly removed, through the process of desolventization, the soy flakes or flour contain little oil and a high concentration of…

    Purpose The purpose of this lab was to separate unknown compound 204, composed of an amine, a carboxylic acid, and a neutral component, into each of its three respective states. The unknown compound was separated using microscale separation of acidic, basic, and neutral components by liquid/liquid extraction. Liquid/liquid extraction is a very common method often used in work-ups and allows for isolation of neutral components using acid/base chemistry; this method is extremely helpful in separating reactants and products of a synthesis. The components were purified and dried by evaporation and vacuum filtration.…

    Introduction The purpose of this experiment was to understand acid-catalyzed hydration of alkenes through the formation of exo-norborneol from the reaction of Norborene with acid and the excess of water. Acid-catalyzed hydration is useful in removing double and triple bonds; an unsaturated compound becomes reduced to a saturated compound in the presence of the acid catalyst, or water for this experiment. Hydration of alkenes is the result of acid-catalyzed addition of water to a carbon-carbon double bond. This leads to the formation of an alcohol.…

    In particular, there was a significant amount of drying agent added which may have resulted in the loss of some product. As well, some product was lost in the removal of the product from the drying agent and during the distillation because of incomplete transfer. In addition, some was also likely lost through draining along with the aqueous phase during the washes and extractions. Improving the efficiency of these could increase the yield of the product by causing less…
