Summary
-
1.
Dimethylformamide can be used as a selective solvent for the aromatic hydrocarbons contained in the liquid paraffins from the urea dewaxing process.
-
2.
At a dimethylformamide to feedstock ratio of 3.5 and an extraction temperature of 40–50°C, one can obtain paraffin with an aromatic hydrocarbon content of 0.45%.
At a triethylene glycol to feedstock ratio of 15 and an extraction temperature of 120–130°C, one can obtain paraffin with an aromatic hydrocarbon content of 0.5%.
