  • Patent number: 10150717
    Abstract: The present invention describes a process for the simulated moving bed separation of xylenes, in which the operating conditions are optimized by means of a specific relationship between the cycle time and the flow rate of the desorbant.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 12, 2018
    Date of Patent: December 11, 2018
    Assignee: IFP Energies Nouvelles

  • Publication number: 20180334415
    Abstract: The present invention describes a process for the simulated moving bed separation of xylenes which can be used for the treatment of paraxylene-rich feeds (more than 25% by weight of paraxylene), in which the operating conditions are optimized by means of a specific relationship between the cycle time and the desorbant flow rate.
