Process for the separation of olefins from paraffins

摘要

An adsorptive separation process for the separation of olefins having in the range of from 20 to 28 carbon atoms from a feed stream comprising one or more olefins and paraffins, comprising contacting the feed stream with a bed of adsorbent under conditions which cause the selective retention of the olefins having in the range of from 20 to 28 carbon atoms on the adsorbent and recovering the retained olefins having in the range of from 20 to 28 carbon atoms from the adsorbent by contacting the adsorbent with a desorbent.
