Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Disclosed is a method for treating two or more aromatic feed streams including combining one aromatic feed stream with another aromatic feed stream. The method further includes passing the combined feed stream to a unsaturated aliphatic compound removal zone for removing an unsaturated aliphatic compound therefrom. The method further includes passing the combined aromatic feed stream to a nitrogen removal zone for removing a nitrogen compound therefrom.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A process for treating one aromatic feed stream comprising an aromatic compound and an amount of nitrogen compounds comprising basic organic nitrogen compounds at a first concentration and another aromatic feed stream comprising the aromatic compound, an unsaturated aliphatic compound, water, and an amount of second nitrogen compounds comprising weakly basic nitrogen compounds at a second higher concentration, the method comprising: a) combining the…
