<p>PCT No. PCT/FI97/00645 Sec. 371 Date Apr. 26, 1999 Sec. 102(e) Date Apr. 26, 1999 PCT Filed Oct. 24, 1997 PCT Pub. No. WO98/18744 PCT Pub. Date May 7, 1998The present invention relates to a method of continuously separating pyridine or pyridine derivatives from aqueous solutions by extraction, wherein supercritical fluid is employed to extract the pyridine material from liquid media. The method of the invention, in particular, extracts pyridine or pyridine derivatives from aqueous solutions with pressurized carbon dioxide, which is used under pressure, or in the liquid state, or in the near critical state or in the supercritical state. The operating system is a continuously operating extraction system, so that a part, or all, of the pyridine and/or pyridine derivatives are transferred from the aqueous phase to the carbon dioxide phase, and thereafter the aqueous phase and carbon dioxide phase are separated from each other; and the pyridine and/or pyridine derivatives are separated from carbon dioxide; and the extract containing pyridine and/or pyridine derivatives is thereby obtained. Preferred temperatures for the pyridine and/or pyridine derivative contacting with carbon dioxide are from 5 to 80 DEG C.; and preferred pressures range from 60 to 300 bar. Specific pyridine derivatives which are usefully separated comprise alkylpyridine, vinylpyridine or halopyridine. In the operating system according to the invention the carbon dioxide is preferentially recycled back to the extraction system in a preferred embodiment.</p> |
