Definitions

  • the agglomerate was broken up by intensive mixing with, for example, a turbine mixer.
  • a sievable adduct was certainly obtained but, in spite of the fine division, free and unused urea may remain present.
  • the breaking up of the adduct required a relatively long period of time and a considerable quantity of energy had to be expended for this pmpose.
  • the adduct formation is normally carried out under atmospheric pressure and the material which is to serve as a solvent for the oil suitably chosen.
  • the adduct formation is carried out in two stages under different pressures, the pressure of the second stage being lower than that of the first stage.
  • the solvent whose boiling point is so low that when the pressure is reduced in the second step the boiling point is exceeded.
  • the solvent will be an oil solvent.
  • the adduct agglomerate includes an appreciable amount of the solvent, together with urea; the solvent content represents approximately one-quarter of the amount used. The reduction of pressure momentarily evaporates this solvent and breaks up the agglomerate, the unused urea is liberated and, at the same time, forms new adduct.
  • the difierence between the two pressure stages, and not the absolute degree of the pressures themselves, is decisive for the invention.
  • the pressure used in the second step can also amount to several atmospheres provided that the pressure used in the first step is greater.
  • methylene chloride is used as a solvent then it is advantageous to carry out the adduct formation in the first step under normal pressure at the boiling point of methylene chloride (41 C.) and in the second step to reduce the pressure to about half an atmosphere.
  • the first step must be carried out under pressure if the solvent to be used is to be added in a completely fluid condition.
  • the pressure can be reduced to any desired lower pressure.
  • urea solutions which contained 10 to 40% by weight of water referred to the solution possesses special advantages.
  • the mixture consists of only one fluid and one solid phase; the unused urea solution is completely absorbed into the adduct and does not appear as its own fluid phase.
  • the adduct possesses a fine-grained structure which allows it to be separated from the mixture by means of the simplest of separating devices. Any hydrocarbon oils containing n-paraffins may be used, regardless of their boiling range.
  • the solvent is not necessary in all cases to use the solvent as an oil solvent.
  • the dilution with a suitable oil solvent can be omitted, particularly if the oils in question contain very little n-paraflins.
  • the suggested process is also applicable in this case if a low boiling point solvent for the urea is used together with water.
  • a suitable solvent for the urea is, for example, methanol and water.
  • the separated n-paraflin-urea adduct can, after separation, be decomposed into n-paraflins and urea by the methods described in specification No. 533,699.
  • a process for the separation of n-parafifins from hydrocarbon oils in the presence of an oil solvent by treating said oils with an aqueous solution of urea containing 10-40% by weight of water to form an n-paraffinurea adduct containing solvent and unused urea, characterised in that the formation of the n-parafiin-urea adduct is carried out in two stages under small differences of Patented Sept. 12, 1961 of the aforesaid oil solvent the boiling point of which is.
