Abstract

Crude naphthalene is purified by a process which comprises treating at elevated temperature the crude liquid naphthalene with a small proportion of isobutene gas, tertiary butyl alcohol or di-isobutene in the presence of an acid catalyst whereby the isobutene, tertiary butyl alcohol or di-isobutene combines with the impurities without reacting with the naphthalene and separating the unchanged naphthalene from the products of the reaction. Acid catalysts mentioned are phosphoric acid and concentrated sulphuric. The naphthalene may be finally washed with water and dilute caustic soda solution. In examples: A C4 refinery gas containing isobutene is passed through crude, heated, liquid naphthalene in the presence of concentrated sulphuric acid (I) and (III) and a mixture of crude naphthalene, tertiary butyl alcohol and sulphuric acid is heated under reflux (II). The naphthalene is recovered by sublimation in each example and in example (I) the product is compared with the products obtained by purifying crude naphthalene by sublimation and washing with concentrated sulphuric acid, water and caustic soda.
