  • Patent number: 11773072
    Abstract: A method for producing an epoxyalkane includes the step of separating a stream containing an epoxyalkane and an extracting agent in a separation column having a column kettle reboiler. A part of a stream in the column kettle of the separation column enters an extracting agent purifier and is treated to obtain a gas phase light fraction that returns to the separation column and a liquid phase heavy fraction that is subjected to a post-treatment. The method can be used in the industrial production of an epoxyalkane.

  • Patent number: 11591303
    Abstract: A method for producing epoxyalkane includes the step of separating, in a separation column, a stream containing epoxyalkane, extractant, and diol. The separation column operates under conditions so as to enable the extractant and the diol to form an azeotrope, and a stream containing extractant and binary azeotrope is extracted from the side-draw of the separation column to liquid-liquid separation. The method can be used for the industrial production of epoxyalkane.

  • Patent number: 11091412
    Abstract: A process for producing ethylene includes the steps of: (1) catalytically cracking a raw material hydrocarbon to obtain a first stream containing propylene; (2) separating the first stream to obtain a C3 component stream; and (3) disproportionating the C3 component stream to obtain an ethylene stream. This process reduces the overall energy consumption of the production process and increases the total yield of the ethylene while obtaining a polymerization-grade ethylene.
