  • Patent number: 11083979
    Abstract: A separation method and a separation apparatus for a solvent extracted by supercritical extraction. The separation method increases a solvent recovery rate by minimizing the amount of a solvent to be evaporated and lost since the pressure of a solvent is reduced by arranging two or more separators in series. The method includes: introducing a fluid having passed through a supercritical extractor into a first flash vessel; introducing the fluid which has passed through the first flash vessel into a second flash vessel; and discharging and recovering the carbon dioxide and the solvent which have passed through the second flash vessel, respectively. The pressure of the first flash vessel is 40-100 bar, and the pressure of the second flash vessel is 1-30 bar. The fluid includes carbon dioxide and a solvent.

  • Patent number: 10597469
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for recovering ethylene and a vinyl-comonomer that is capable of improving the rate of recovery of unreacted monomers remaining after polymerization of ethylene and a vinyl-based comonomer and increasing process efficiency through the reduction of costs. Specifically, the method for recovering ethylene and a vinyl-comonomer includes: a step of polymerizing ethylene and a vinyl-based comonomer at a pressure of 1500 bar or more; a step of depressurizing the product obtained in the polymerization step including an ethylene-vinyl-based comonomer polymer, ethylene, and a vinyl-based comonomer to 0.1 bar to 5 bar; a step of adding ethylene to the product obtained in the polymerization step under the pressure of 0.1 bar to 5 bar; and a step of separating ethylene and a vinyl-based comonomer from the product obtained in the polymerization step to which the ethylene is added.

  • Patent number: 10570223
    Abstract: The present application relates to a method for removing an unreacted vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) in polyvinyl chloride (PVC). According to an illustrative stripping apparatus and a stripping method using the stripping apparatus of the present application, in a stripping process using steam, a temperature difference between a raw material including a target substance to be removed and steam is minimized to suppress foam generation in the stripping process, thereby increasing efficiency of removing the target substance to be removed, particularly, an unreacted VCM in PVC. In addition, a cleansing cycle to remove foams generated in the stripping apparatus can be reduced, thereby not only securing economic feasibility of the process, but also preventing degradation in quality of a final product that may occur when an antifoamer to remove the foams is used.
