This invention concerns a process for removing carbonyl-containing impurities from impure extractive distillation solvent such as a glycol, comprising: contacting the impure extractive distillation solvent with an acidic ion exchange resin. The purified extractive distillation solvent can be recycled for use as a solvent in an extractive distillation process that removes impurities from alkylene oxide. The extractive distillation solvent can be ethylene glycol monomethyl ether (EGME) used to purify propylene oxide.
本发明涉及一种从不纯的萃取蒸馏溶剂(如
乙二醇)中去除含羰基杂质的工艺,包括:将不纯的萃取蒸馏溶剂与酸性离子交换
树脂接触。净化后的萃取蒸馏溶剂可回收用作萃取蒸馏工艺中的溶剂,以去除
环氧乙烷中的杂质。萃取蒸馏溶剂可以是用于提纯环氧
