Abstract
Aromatic hydrocarbons are separated from a mixture thereof with paraffinic hydrocarbons by solvent extraction with N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-2-pyrrolidone containing a minor amount of water at specified elevated temperatures and pressures. Temperature variations within the specified range have little effect on the loading capacity and selectivity of the solvent thus greatly simplifying process control.
