ABSTRACT:
An improved process for solvent refining lubricating oil base stocks from petroleum fractions containing both aromatic and non-aromatic constituents utilizing N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone as a selective solvent for aromatic hydrocarbons wherein the refined oil fraction and the extract fraction are freed of final traces of solvent by stripping with gaseous ammonia.
The process has several advantages over conventional processes including a savings in energy required for the solvent refining process, and reduced corrosion of the process equipment.
