Abstract
The distillative freezing (DF) operation was applied to separate the mixture of the volatile compounds. By lowering temperature and reducing pressure during the operation, the DF process resulted in the formation of pure solid, and liquid phase and vapor phase of mixtures. The process was continued until the liquid phase was completely eliminated and only the pure solid crystals remain in the feed. Due to the very close boiling points of p-xylene, m-xylene, and ethylbenzene, it was very difficult to separate them by conventional distillation. This is an abstract of a paper presented at the 41st Annual Loss Prevention Symposium (Houston, TX 4/22-26/2007).
