The separation of polymer-grade propylene from a propylene-propane mixture was performed by an extractive distillation (ED) process in the steady state, and was developed on the Aspen Plus V9 simulator, by using an extractive column and a recovery column. To increase the volatility and relative selectivity of propylene, aqueous N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) was used as extracting agent. By using an ED process and aqueous NMP, compared with the high-pressure binary distillation process, a reduction in energy consumption was obtained, with a saving of 52 % in total annual cost.
