APPARATUS AND PROCESS FOR USING OLEFIN AS AN AZEOTROPIC ENTRAINER FOR ISOLATING 1,3-DICHLORO-2-PROPANOL FROM A 2,2'-OXYBIS (1-CHLOROPROPANE) WASTE STREAM

摘要

Disclosed are a process and an apparatus for using an olefin as an azeotropic entrainer to isolate a target organic compound from a waste stream. The olefin may be, for example, 1-decene, 1-dodecene, or 1-tetradecene. The target organic compound may be 1,3-dichloro-2-propanol in waste stream comprising a 2,2′-oxybis(1-chloropropane).
