Summary: | Processes and apparatuses for separating aromatic and non-aromatic hydrocarbons by extractive distillation. A solvent is mixed with the aromatic and non-aromatic hydrocarbons. A first separation column separates non-aromatic hydrocarbons from the solvent and the aromatic hydrocarbons. A second separation column separates the aromatic hydrocarbons and the solvent. A side draw stream from the second separation column is used to heat the feed stream to the first separation column. A bottom stream from the second separation may be used to heat the liquid in the first separation column. A stab-in reboiler may be used to transfer heat from the bottoms stream to the liquid in the first separation column. |
