Solvent extraction of hydrocarbon oils

Patent ·
OSTI ID:5202351
A solvent refining process is disclosed utilizing n-methyl-2-pyrrolidone as solvent. The extract from the solvent extraction zone is cooled to form two immiscible liquid phases, a secondary extract phase and a secondary raffinate phase. The secondary raffinate phase is returned to the extraction zone resulting in increased yield of refined oil product and savings in energy required for the process.
