Why is it necessary to add deionized water in sulfolane extraction?
Thread Content
Why is it necessary to add deionized water during sulfolane extraction? We welcome everyone’s opinions and views.
Generally, deoxygenated water is added; desalinated water is used only when deoxygenated water is not available, mainly to prevent equipment corrosion
Deoxygenated water, not deionized water; the solvent is easily oxidized.
What is the purpose of that desalinated water?
Note: Is the purpose of desalinated water to provide stripping steam for subsequent solvent regeneration?
If it is for corrosion prevention, is water injection achieved by diluting sulfides?
Do you use liquid-liquid extraction or distillation extraction?
Is liquid-liquid extraction accompanied by the addition of condensate water?
Extractive distillation, using sulfolane as the solvent
It’s not liquid-liquid extraction; it’s extractive distillation, with sulfolane as the solvent
