Separation of n-alkanes from alkenes
Thread Content
I have a question: I need to separate the n-alkanes and alkenes of C8, C9, and C10. Since the temperature difference is quite small, at less than 5 degrees, it’s difficult to carry out separation through distillation. Is there a better method? Or is it necessary to use a very high number of theoretical plates and a large reflux ratio in order to achieve separation?
Could you please tell me the sources of the n-alkanes and alkenes in C8, C9, and C10?
{:3_55:} I always thought they used catalytic hydrogenation for purification. . . . .
