ABSTRACT:
N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone is recovered from the raffinate and extract phases produced by its use in hydrocarbon extraction processes, particularly lube oil extraction, through the use of flash evaporation and/or distillation followed by gas stripping. Water buildup in the recovered solvent is prevented by employing solvent dehydration means in the solvent recovery line after gas stripping. Proper control of process parameters enables the dehydration means to remove excess water without requiring additional heat input to the process.
