Pornstar Name:
Where's the creampie?
anyone knows the full scene?
it's really a pity that this video is soooo short ... contrary to the incredibly long and big dick. Which is great is that it is massive and yet remains hard, very hard. I guess the girl is rather small, which adds to the visual effect... I really would like to know the names of both and watch the full sequence!!!

Irene Isaac and Durian
year was my first EVER experience of eating durian STRAIGHT from the
tree.It happened when my brother was driving us to cameron highland on
Merdeka day (independence day for malaysia).
Wow.. can't describe the taste of the durian.. strong but yet very
smooth.. can actually taste the freshness in the durian. My brother
said some taste milky.
I also gave some to Isaac.. he love it... most probably because it's
sweet i presume.
Since i was traveling with my ever professional photographer brother,
the photos taken were superb. I just love it.

Dr. Laura.
Fats at flea market.
His style is fast. "Eight seconds per joke," he says. "Jokes on the way to telling the joke."
"Yeah, I love critters," Larry says in his act. "I got a horse with a broke leg, so I had to shoot it." Beat. "Now it's got a broke leg and a gunshot wound." Beat. "What the hell you shot 'em for?" Beat. "They say it helps the healing process." Beat. "If it ain't better next week I'm going to shoot it again."
He admires vaudeville, Henny Youngman, early Steve Martin. "I'm one of those annoying one-liner comics." Like: "I was seeing this good-looking girl in Miami for about three weeks. Then somebody stole my binoculars out of the truck." In a 70-minute show, he might hit 360 jokes.
That's the general gist. The audience howls. And while Larry doesn't use much profanity, he is obsessed with bathroom humor: grandmothers with flatulence, flatulence at the gym, combustion involving flatulence.
"Look," he explains. "I'm not trying to change the world. I'm just doing comedy that makes people laugh. Goofy stuff. My act is nonsense. Everyday things. Other comedians would call it lowbrow. Who cares? That's what we laugh at. It's a guilty pleasure. I understand it's stupid. But I'm not running for president."
Engvall comes backstage after his set. He is wearing a blue oxford shirt without a drop of sweat.
"Now I'm getting nervous," Larry says.
"You should be," Engvall says. "Bring out the body bags. I killed."

text: In the debate of who owns who, the answer is toro owns exmark and the turbo force deck (toro) is way better than the ultra cut or the triton deck (exmark). The turbo force deck is a lot more precise, does better in wet, damp, thick or high grass. Hands down toro is way more superior the exmark.ive owned 3 exmarks and 3 toros the only difference is the deck (which is the difference) and a few other small features. Doesn't matter what kind of mower you have without a good deck it's crap and it'd also be nice if exmark would come up with their own ideas because they try to take credit for what toro does.

I remember, vividly, when Sunshine ran a half marathon last year. I remember it because I let her down on a number of levels, the biggest being that I wasn't there at the end of the race. There were reasons, sure…but regardless of the reasons, I wasn't there when she needed me.
It's been a year of me wanting to make up for that mistake.
Yesterday, Sunshine ran a FULL MARATHON on Prince Edward Island. I can't even begin to tell you just how impressed I am at the mere thought of running a marathon, much less actually completing one.
We started the day in the near-freezing temperatures on the northern beaches of PEI. It may be beautiful during the summer, but it's just blistering in the fall. People were dressed in everything from tank tops and short shorts to toques and ear muffs. In addition to that were the crazy people like me…driving all over the island from marker to marker to stand in the cold and yell out our support for the people we love.
And if that in itself wasn't enough, she obliterated the time that she ran five years ago in her first marathon…by over an hour! She finished over 42 km (over 24 miles) in under five hours. How awesome is she??
For those of you who read both of our blogs, you know that she almost didn't even run it. Thanks to some positive words from some great people, she changed her mind and ran her ass off yesterday.
To say that I'm impressed would be an understatement. I'm inspired by her achievement. I'm in awe at her ability. Because she overcame so much in terms of mental blocks in order to run this AND finish it, I'm more proud of her than my words can really say.
I believe in her…and hopefully, after yesterday, she can now believe in herself.

LONDON – Neil Entwistle, the British man accused of killing his wife and infant daughter in their Massachusetts home, agreed Friday to return to the United States to face charges.
Home Secretary Charles Clarke signed an authorization order, clearing the last legal hurdle in Britain and allowing for Entwistle's extradition at any time.
Entwistle, who was arrested by British detectives at a London underground station on Thursday, told the Bow Street Magistrates Court through his lawyer that he wished to return to the United States "as soon as possible."
In a television interview Friday, Middlesex District Attorney Martha Coakley said once Entwistle, 27, arrives in Massachusetts, prosecutors would ask that he be held without bail pending a trial.
Entwistle is accused of using his father-in-law's handgun to shoot Rachel Entwistle, 27, and 9-month-old Lillian on Jan. 20 as they cuddled together in bed in the Boston suburb of Hopkinton. He flew to London the next day.
His legal team said outside the court that Entwistle had agreed to return voluntarily to avoid any "additional distress" to the family of his late wife or to his own parents.
District Judge Anthony Evans told Entwistle his decision to voluntarily return would be irrevocable.
"Yes, that's right," Entwistle said, glancing briefly at his father, Cliff Entwistle, as he signed a form consenting to return.
Evans ordered that Entwistle remain in custody until he is sent to the United States. As he was led away, the suspect smiled briefly at his father, who was the only family member at the hearing.
At his first court appearance Thursday, Entwistle said he was not prepared to consent to return. But his lawyer said Friday's move did not represent a change of heart.
"He was always inclined to consent," attorney Judith Seddon told reporters outside the court.
"He wants to cooperate with the authorities in any way that he can, and he is anxious that the delay may cause his late wife's family and his own additional distress, something he wishes to avoid," Seddon said. "He believes that he will receive a fair and a proper hearing in the U.S.A. of these very serious allegations."
Asked by The Associated Press whether Entwistle intended to contest the charges, Seddon said: "I can't give any indication of how he is likely to plead."
Coakley said Thursday that an arrest warrant was issued after forensic results indicated the .22-caliber handgun used in the shootings was from a collection owned by Entwistle's father-in-law.
Prosecutors suspect Entwistle took the gun from his father-in-law's home, then secretly returned it after the slayings.
Authorities allege Entwistle shot his wife in the head and his daughter in the abdomen. The district attorney said it was unclear whether the two were awake or asleep at the time.
The next day, Entwistle flew to London and stayed with his family in Worksop in central England, authorities said.
In Massachusetts on Friday, newly released court documents alleged that Entwistle told police three days after the slayings that he did not kill his wife and daughter, but discovered their bodies and then contemplated suicide.
Entwistle allegedly told Hopkinton Police Sgt. Joseph Bennett in a phone conversation from his parents' home in England that he left the house at 9 a.m. on Jan. 20, returned two hours later and found Rachel and Lillian dead.
Bennett's testimony, contained in an affidavit filed in support of the arrest warrant, claimed Entwistle said he covered up the bodies, then considered using a knife to commit suicide but did not go through with it. He allegedly claimed that he drove to his in-law's home in nearby Carver to get one of his father-in-law's guns to kill himself, but could not get in the home.
A first-degree murder conviction in Massachusetts carries a mandatory sentence of life in prison without parole.
Entwistle met American Rachel Souza in 1999 at the University of York in England, where she was spending a year abroad. They were married in 2003 and later moved to the United States.
Coakley said Entwistle's finances had deteriorated after the failure of his Internet businesses, which included a Web site that promised customers as much as $6,000 in monthly earnings and another that offered a manual to help men enlarge their penises.
Joe Flaherty, a spokesman for Rachel Entwistle's family, said they know a difficult legal process is just starting.
"Whether (the trial) happens a year from now or a year and a half, nothing is going to bring back Rachel and Lilly Rose," he said.
"It's going to be a long road for them," he added. "There will never really be closure in a case like this."

Unhelpful staff
Alexander Macdonald, more than 6 months ago
"I'll never again buy anything from Currys PC World." I bought a Advent computer from Currys PC World in Finnieston Glasgow for £600,00. In the computer instruction manual it advises you to backup the preinstalled Windows 7 by burning it onto the two DVD discs supplyed. I tried to do this but discovered that the burning facility was faulty. I phoned Curry PC World's help line and was advised to return the computer and get a replacement one. The next day [Monday] I reboxed the computer and took it back. The "assistant", on seeing me approach the desk with the computer turned his back and totaly ignored me for about 2 minutes. When he decided to deal with me, I explained the problem and told him about being advised by the help line to return it and get it exchanged for another. His reply, "I won't be doing that". I asked, "what are you going to do about it?" his reply, "I'll burn another two discs for you". I said, "that won't repair the computer". Getting no where, I showed him another computer, an ASUS, I had seen online and was £150.00 dearer. I told him I would be willing to pay the £150.00 on top of the £600.00 if I could take that one instead of the Advent. Whithout a word he walked away and returned with the ASUS. I payed, he sauntered off and that was that. No apology, no thank you. He was so rude and unhelpful. Acording to my receipt the "assistant's" name is R. Retraining for R.?, maybe, but I don't think so, his ignorance and unhelpfulness seems to be far too deeply ingrained for anything to work. Finnieston Glasgow.

Ph.D. Student, Sociology and Social Policy
With Alexandra Killewald, Demography, June 2017, [paper] [replication materials] [accessible summary]
Does getting or staying married cause men to earn more per hour? Economists have long argued that marriage should increase men's productivity through specialization, as they develop human capital in the workplace while their wives focus on home production. Sociologists have likewise argued that marriage might motivate men to work harder and thus earn more. Against each of these perspectives, Alexandra Killewald and I argue that marriage has no causal effect on men's hourly wages. Using panel data, we reproduce recent literature showing that hourly wages grow prior to marriage and decline prior to divorce - a nuance missed by fixed-effects models that focus on intercept shifts alone. We then adjudicate between theories of the sources of these trajectories by exploring their empirical predictions for different subgroups. If premarital wage growth is attributable to causal anticipation of marriage, then it should be smaller among men for whom marriage may be less planned: those whose marriage is followed quickly by a birth. However, we find similar premarital wage growth in both groups. Further, men who marry at older ages experience no unusual wage growth prior to marriage. We argue that individuals mature at heterogeneous times, and these heterogeneous latent maturation processes cause both marriage and wage growth.
How prevalent is housing eviction among urban American children? (with Louis Donnelly, under review) Ethnographic research suggests that housing eviction has become a common experience among urban renters, particularly those with children. With Louis Donnelly, I use 5 waves of panel data from the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study to estimate the proportion of urban American children born in 1998-2000 who experience an eviction by age 15.
My teaching experience is in a statistics course aimed at Ph.D. students in sociology.
I precepted Soc 500 in Fall 2016 and am currently precepting Soc 504 in Spring 2017, both under Professor Brandon Stewart at Princeton University. I led a 2-hour section reviewing materials from the course every other week. (link to sample slides)
I currently work most closely with Sara McLanahan, Brandon Stewart, and Matthew Salganik. In college, I collaborated with Alexandra Killewald and was also advised by Christopher Winship. Any of them can serve as references.

Little Girl Lost
Disclaimer: Dragon Ball Z belongs to Funimation, not me, and neither does Gargoyles. This is a fanfic, and I make no money from this whatsoever.
Elisa Maza had no idea where she was.
The last thing that she had remembered was getting back to her brownstone apartment, showering, and waiting for her husband Goliath to wake up from his daytime sleep. She had changed into a light blue dress, because they were going to be going to a party that the Clan was holding for their fifth anniversary, as soon as they woke up. Leaning against the sun-warmed stone of her love's flank, she had started to feel a little dozy, when-
There had been a sharp pain in her neck, and-
Blinking the sleep sand from her sore eyes, she tried to look around, but couldn't move her head. She jerked, trying to move the rest of her, when she realized that she couldn't feel the rest of her body, either. Dread formed a hard, cold knot in her unfeeling middle.
What was going on?
"Well, my dear, it seems that you have finally awaken at last," said a familiar, hated voice.
"Severius," she hissed, or at least tried to. All that came out was a hoarse croak.
"Now, now, my dear, you have been unconscious for the past three weeks, so you will be a little rusty. I have been harvesting quite a nice little crop from you, and that is why you can't feel anything."
"What?" she managed to rasp out. Swallowing against the pain in her chest, she continued," Is this one of Xanatos' little tricks?"
"Oh, him? No, why would you say that? He has been keeping to the straight and narrow since associating with you lot. This is purely business, you understand. An associate of mine has been wanting some super fighters, and asked me to engineer them. I immediately thought of you and Goliath for the raw materials."
"I'm sorry to say, this means that you will be unable to bare children naturally. Although, I will be creating thousand of embryos for this experiment that will be genetically the offspring of both you and Goliath. I think that would be some consolation to you."
Even trapped and at this beast's mercy, Elisa wanted to howl with rage. How dare this monster do this to her? They had been at peace for the past several years. Why was he doing this?
An answering roar shattered the hideous silence after Severius' pronouncement, and filled her with a sudden hope. Maybe they would escape!
In her desperate hope, she managed a scream, and pain filled her head and throat.
"Don' worry, Elisa, we will get you out," responded a gruff male voice. It was cold as night, but was enough to make her weep with joy.
Then she fainted.
Feeling very blurry, Elisa slowly opened her eyes again, thinking about the very, very strange dream she had been having.
"I need to get up," she told herself, annoyed that she had allowed herself to fall asleep like that.
Getting out of bed, she stumbled to the bathroom, and hit a wall.
It was not her bedroom.
Fear gripped her, as she realized that she was back in the castle.
She took a quick inventory, and found that she didn't have any weapons, but there was a heavy vase on a bookshelf that would be just dandy.
Hearing the door start to creak open, she jumped behind it, ignoring the ache of misused limbs.
Pushing all her strength into the blow, she brought the vase down-
And stopped abruptly, seeing whom her target was.
The elegant female gargoyle whirled, putting a talon to her face, covering her mouth in shock.
"E- Elisa?"
"What?" Elisa asked, looking into her friend's once innocent face.
"What's wrong?"
"You're awake," she whispered, and pulled her into a rough hug
"This is great, girl, but," she wheezed, gasping, "could you let me down? I can't breath."
Hastily Angela dropped her, and Elisa leaned against her solid shoulder, getting her breath. It was then that she noticed something strange. There were all sort of monitors attached to her bed.
Seeing the frightened and disbelieving look on Elisa's face, Angela answered gently, "You've been in a coma for the past two months."
It took them a good hour to calm down the hysterics that Elisa went into. They had never seen her so worked up.
Elisa sputtered for a long time, shaking and screaming. She just couldn't accept the fact of what had happened to her.
Somewhere, in the back of her mind, she had always kept the hope that she would someday be able to have kids. It was one of the things that had made her life bearable. She had been living with the weirdness day in and out, yet the hope of a normal life, one that she thought she had given up, had never really left. It had just gone to sleep.
"Where," she choked, swallowing her tears, "Where is Goliath?"
The Clan, which had gathered to console their shattered friend, looked at each other uneasily.
"We'll take you to him, lass," Hudson told her, grief showing on his grave, battered face. The others wouldn't look at her anymore.
Not speaking, knowing she would not like what she found, they walked out to where the Clan roosted for the day.
Goliath was stone, his noble face frozen in a snarl of defiance, wings spread, in a fighting stance. He looked magnificent.
Tears falling down her face, Elisa collapsed into a sobbing heap.
Doctor Gero looked at the developing fetuses that Severius had delivered to him. They were all variations on the same theme, some male, some female.
All had the potential to defeat his greatest adversary; his nemesis Goku.
With the modifications that were made by Severius, and the mechanical ones that he was planning when they reached full growth, even his wonders Seventeen and Eighteen would seem inferior.
Smirking, and rubbing his hands together with glee, the mad scientist awaited the incubation of his latest creations.
"What?" he screamed, hearing something different from what he was used to.
They were roars; frightening, huge roars that made him want to shake inside. Gero had been afraid when he had seen Goku, but this was something different.
He knew that Goku at least looked human, and these creatures didn't.
Then he heard something even more frightening. It was the police.
Trying to get out, he pushed the self-destruct button, and his projects and information were all destroyed.
It had taken the gargoyles and Xanatos nearly five months to find the lab, and in that time, the embryos had almost come to term. Gero looked at his work, and raged at what this raid would cost him.
It was then that he made it to the surface of his lab, and to the exit. Turning to run, he looked at the night sky, and shuddered. There was something wrong…
Hearing a low growling, he turned again. Behind him were two sets of glowing red eyes. In the shadows, the two female gargoyles looked nearly identical. He wanted to scream as they came towards him…
(Well, that was why Gero became an android. Because his other body was shredded by Demona and Angela.)
The Cell games were over, and Chi-Chi was crying.
Her husband was gone, and all she had left of him was the baby growing in her womb.
Gohan was fine, he could do without her for few days, she thought, looking back at her house. Whenever things had gotten too bad for her, she had always been able to throw herself into housework, and into her love for her family. Now, well, Gohan didn't need her anymore, she had seen that for herself, although it tore at her heart.
She had been a wild child, like Goku, but for her father. She sniffed, thinking it might be a good idea to go see him, be decided against it. Alone would be the best thing right now.
She walked off, leaving everything behind.
Crying alone, she reflected, could be either cleansing, or depressing.
Depressing, definitely, she thought.
It didn't help that she was having mood swings, and that the bulge of her belly was keeping her from seeing the ground in front of her.
Muttering to herself, she wandered down the hillside she was currently walking on, and tried valiantly to keep her footing on the cracked shale of the slope. It had been raining in a steady drizzle, making her more than a little miserable. Plus, it made the stone gravel slippery.
Chi Chi wanted to smile tightly. It was only a matter of time until she fell; that much was obvious. Despite the insanity that led her out there in the first place, she wasn't stupid. All she could do now was wait for it, and up her ki to the point where she could protect herself and the baby.
There was a crack of thunder in the distance, heralding the inevitable fall. It startled her, and she made her misstep. Loose rock gave around her foot, and she slid, along with a lot of the hillside.
She made a loud grunt as she hit, but it wasn't in pain, just surprise. That Kami for her tournament days, she thought.
Rubbing her head, she sat up, looking around. She was fine, and so was the baby.
There was the sound of falling stones hitting stone, then an odd note. It was stone hitting glass and metal.
The sound of strange out here, in the middle of nowhere, that Chi-Chi frowned in concentration. The whispers out the wilderness became more prominent as she used her ki to enhance her hearing. The sound was coming from the bottom of the ravine…
Her curiosity piqued, she clambered down. Breathing laboriously, she hiked down, and saw light reflecting off of something shiny. It was half buried.
Heaving, she pulled it out of the ground. It proved to a canister, one that was made of glass-
"Oh, great Kami," she breathed, almost dropping it. There was a baby inside.
"I think it's some kind of birthing chamber," Bulma said, as she and Chi-Chi looked the contraption over.
Chi Chi had almost run back to civilization when she had found the canister, and took it to the closest expert she could think of, being Bulma Briefs.
Right now, they were examining it, seeing the developing body inside.
Running a scan over it, Bulma was about to open her mouth to say something more, when a beeping came from the scanner.
Bulma choked.
"Its still alive!"
"What?" Chi Chi shrieked.
It was true, there was a tiny heartbeat being registered by the monitors.
"It, well, what do we do now?"
"I haven't a friggin' clue!"
The two women looked at each other, and maternal instinct kicked in. Whatever it was, no matter the species, it was a baby. Someone would have to take care of it.
Bulma grimaced. She still had trouble-getting Vegeta to acknowledge his own child, let alone one that wasn't theirs. Turning to Chi-Chi, she explained why she couldn't take the baby.
"You know that I don't have that much experience with children anyway," she told her, "and I thought you always wanted a girl." She was still looking at the readouts.
"It is a girl?" Chi-Chi asked softly, looking through the glass. Bulma busied herself with hooking the artificial womb to some wiring so it would function properly.
"That is what the scans show. It isn't all human, but is partly, and it's a girl. I think that it will be ready to come out in about a month. About the same time you are due."
Chi-Chi sat down to think.
"I have a month to decide?"
"Not really, because there isn't anyone else, but I'll try to look if you don't think you can do it."
Chi-Chi looked again at the small, indistinct shape.
"I guess I don't have much choice, do I?"

Image: Co-founders Arthur Mandel and Kerry Bannigan pose with celebrity Christina Milian on the red carpet during the Nolcha Shows.
When co-founders Kerry Bannigan and Arthur Mandel initially created the Nolcha Shows, the motive for its development was to create a cost effective platform for independent fashion designers to showcase their collections during New York Fashion Week. The result solidified a true fashion machine that reconstructed the industry dynamics and created a new hub for a priced-out segment of the fashion industry. Our editor-in-chief, Tiffany Tate, catches up with the founders of the Nolcha Shows on its mission, its goals and the upcoming New York Fashion Week season in September 2016.
LINGER: How has the Nolcha Shows guided aspiring independent fashion designers in overcoming the various obstacles in the fashion industry?
NOLCHA: Today, we continue on this mission providing a 360 turnkey solution supporting designers via the fashion show production preparation of press, guest lists, model selection, hair/makeup styling teams and quality production teams. We aim to help designers overcome the overwhelming situation of planning and executing a fashion show during New York Fashion Week and also provide the added benefit of media results post show to use in their marketing efforts. We definitely find ourselves providing a lot of guidance as well regarding brands preparing themselves for retail.
LINGER: Each season, Linger has witnessed the team cohesiveness of the entire Nolcha team – the unified pride of the models on the runway, the proud smiles of the fashion designers during their runway finale, to the thunderous applause from the audience. What is your advice for designers and models who wish to be a part of the Nolcha Show family?
NOLCHA: Thank you, we truly appreciate your continued support throughout the seasons! We pride ourselves on the efficient guidance and expertise that we provide our clients throughout the process, from when they are accepted to do the show until post show when we recap on the project. We seek brands who are innovative and stand out, but also marketable and relevant to the industry so that they can launch a successful brand at all levels. When we do meet with brands and models to decide to work together, we always seek very personable and professional people as we have to work together for several months. It is also important to us to have transparency at all times so that we can truly help somebody grow and work with them to overcome any of their concerns, obstacles or fears for the season.
LINGER: How the Nolcha Shows influenced the growth of a particular designer/collection?
NOLCHA: The Nolcha Shows influences a variety of brands on different levels each season, but my most recent favorite was the launch of MINAN WONG last season. The response to her brand was fantastic and she is still receiving support from media and industry today. She is returning to our runway this upcoming season and I truly believe this will see her brand go from strength to strength. She has caught the attention of the media and now would be excellent to increase her retail relationships and stockist placement.
LINGER: Outside of the Nolcha Shows, who do you feel is the designer on the rise?
NOLCHA: We love the work of Charles Youssef. He is a part of the CFDA incubator and creates beautiful womenswear.
LINGER: The Nolcha Shows continues to be one of the strongest platforms for emerging fashion talent. What can we expect this season?
NOLCHA: For the Spring/Summer 2017 season, the Nolcha Shows will be presenting over 18 apparel and accessory brands during runway shows and the Fashion Media Lounge.
The runway shows will take place September 12th at Artbeam and will showcase global designers during individual and collective runway shows. The Ones to Watch collective will present Jody Bell, Olivia B, MINAN WONG and the NY School of Design. The main runway showcase welcomes back ACID NYC and Rohitava Banerjee. Samantha Leibowitz will debut her Spring/Summer 2017 collection. Chinese designer LU YANG will present his Spring/Summer 2017 collection during an individual showcase.
The Nolcha Shows Fashion Media Lounge, taking place September 14th, 2016 at the Bryant Park Hotel, welcomes Media, bloggers and industry to connect and engage with global independent accessory designers. Designers showcasing this season include USA-based brands Michelle Pajak-Reynolds, Taylord Blu, Riley Versa, Marshelly's, James Carletons and EL VOYAGE. The East Africa Trade and Investment Hub will be showcasing APRELLEDUANY, Ami Doshi Shah, Sammy Handmade and Mafi Mafi. British debuting brands are DELA EVA and Oysby.

1. Field of the Invention
The field of art to which the claimed invention pertains is solid bed adsorptive separation processes. More specifically, the invention relates to a process and particular flow scheme for separating three components from a mixture thereof utilizing an adsorbent-desorbent combination exhibiting the desired selectivity for each of such components.
2. Description of the Prior Art
It is well known in the separation art that certain crystalline aluminosilicates can be used to separate one hydrocarbon type from another hydrocarbon type. The separation of normal paraffins from branched chained paraffins for example can be accomplished by using a type A zeolite which has pore openings from 3 to about 5 Angstroms. Such a separation process is disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,985,589 and 3,201,491. These adsorbents allow a separation based on the physical size difference in the molecules by allowing the smaller or normal hydrocarbons to be passed into the cavities within the zeolitic adsorbent, while excluding the larger or branched chain molecules. U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,265,750 and 3,510,423 for example disclose processes in which larger pore diameter zeolites such as the type X or type Y structured zeolites can be used to separate olefinic hydrocarbons from non-olefinic hydrocarbons.
In addition to being used in processes for separating hydrocarbon types, adsorbents comprising type X or Y zeolites have also been employed in processes to separate individual hydrocarbon isomers. In the processes described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,558,730; 3,558,732; 3,626,020 and 3,686,342 for example particular zeolitic adsorbents are used to separate desired xylene isomers; in U.S. Pat. No. 3,114,782 they are used to separate alkyl-trisubstituted benzenes; in U.S. Pat. No. 3,864,416 they are used to separate tetraalkyl substituted aromatic hydrocarbon isomers and in U.S. Pat. No. 3,668,267 they are used to separate particular alkyl substituted naphthalenes.
The principal of the simulated moving bed to continuously separate the components of the fluid mixture by contact with a solid adsorbent is as set forth in D.B. Broughton U.S. Pat. No. 2,985,589, hereby incorporated herein by reference thereto. The simulated moving bed functions by periodically advancing through the column of adsorbent the various point of introducing and withdrawing the liquid streams.
A common problem with the simulated moving bed flow scheme is that the raffinate itself contains components the separation of which is desired, but which cannot be separated by conventional means, such as fractionation. In such cases, therefore, it has been the practice to provide a second stage simulated moving bed to achieve the complete separation. I have discovered a method of operating a simulated moving bed column which avoids the aforementioned problem that would otherwise occur with certain three component feedstocks.
The process is particularly useful in separating ethylbenzene and ortho, meta, and para-xylene from a mixture in which they occur.
It is, accordingly, a broad objective of my invention to provide a process for separating first, second and third components from a fluid feed stream comprising a mixture of those components, which process employs an adsorbent and desorbent material which in combination exhibit relative selectivities for the first, second and third components, respectively, in descending order of magnitude. The process comprises the steps of: (a) maintaining net fluid flow through a column of the adsorbent in a single direction, which column contains at least three zones having separate operational functions occurring therein and being serially interconnected with the terminal zones of the column connected to provide a continuous connection of the zones; (b) maintaining an adsorption zone in the column, the zone being defined by the adsorbent located between a feed input stream at an upstream boundary of the zone and a raffinate output stream at a downstream boundary of the zone; (c) maintaining a purification zone immediately upstream from the adsorption zone, the purification zone being defined by the adsorbent located between an extract output stream at an upstream boundary of the purification zone and the feed input stream at a downstream boundary of the purification zone; (d) maintaining a desorption zone immediately upstream from the purification zone, the desorption zone being defined by the adsorbent located between a desorbent input stream at an upstream boundary of the zone and the extract output stream at a downstream boundary of the zone; (e) passing the feed stream into the adsorption zone at adsorption conditions to effect the selective adsorption of the first component by the adsorbent in the adsorption zone and withdrawing a raffinate output stream from the adsorption zone; (f) passing a desorbent material into the desorption zone at desorption conditions to effect the displacement of the first component from the adsorbent in the desorption zone; (g) withdrawing an extract stream comprising the first component and desorbent material from the desorption zone; (h) withdrawing a raffinate output stream comprising the third component and desorbent material from the adsorption zone at the downstream boundary thereof; (i) withdrawing an intermediate raffinate stream comprising a mixture of the second component, the third component and desorbent material from the adsorption zone at a locus approximately midway between the upstream and downstream boundaries of the zone; and (j) periodically advancing through the column of adsorbent in a downstream direction with respect to fluid in the adsorption zone the feed input stream, raffinate output stream, desorbent input stream, extract output stream and the intermediate raffinate output stream to effect the shifting of zones through the adsorbent and the production of extract output, raffinate output and intermediate raffinate output streams.
In a preferred embodiment of my invention, the first component is para-xylene, the second component is ethyl benzene, and the third component is a mixture of meta-xylene and ortho-xylene.
Other objects and embodiments of the present invention encompass details about feed mixtures, adsorbents, desorbent materials flow schemes and operating conditions all of which are hereinafter disclosed in the following discussion of each of the facets of the present invention.
At the outset the definitions of various terms used throughout this specification will be useful in making clear the operation, objects and advantages of my process.
A "feed mixture" is a mixture containing one or more extract components and one or more raffinate components to be fed to an adsorbent of my process. The term "feed streams" indicates a stream of feed mixture which passes to an adsorbent used in my process.
An "extract component" is a type of compound or a compound, such as an aromatic isomer, that is more selectively adsorbed by the adsorbent while a "raffinate component" is a compound or type of compound that is less selectively adsorbed. The selectively of the adsorbent for an "intermediate raffinate component" lies between that for the extract and raffinate components. In the preferred embodiment of this process, para-xylene is the extract component, and ethyl-benzene, and ortho and meta xylene are the raffinate components. The term "raffinate stream" or "raffinate output stream" means a stream through which a raffinate component is removed from an adsorbent. There are two raffinate streams in the process of this invention, the usual stream taken from the downstream boundary of the adsorption zone and an intermediate stream taken from about the midpoint of the adsorption zone. The composition of a raffinate stream can vary from essentially 100% desorbent material (hereinafter defined) to essentially 100% raffinate components. The term "extract stream" or "extract output stream" shall mean a stream through which an extract material which has been desorbed by a desorbent material is removed from the adsorbent. The composition of the extract stream, likewise, can vary from essentially 100% desorbent material to essentially 100% extract components. Although it is possible by the process of this invention to produce high-purity extract product (hereinafter defined) or a raffinate product (hereinafter defined) at high recoveries, it will be appreciated that an extract component is never completely adsorbed by the adsorbent, nor is a raffinate component completely non-absorbed by the adsorbent. Therefore, small amounts of a raffinate component can appear in the extract stream, and, likewise, small amounts of an extract component can appear in a raffinate stream. The extract and raffinate streams then are further distinguished from each other and from the feed mixture by the ratio of the concentrations of an extract component and a specific raffinate component, both appearing in the particular stream. For example, in the preferred embodiment of the invention, the ratio of concentration of the more selectively adsorbed para-xylene to the concentration of less selectively absorbed isomers and ethyl-benzene will be highest in the extract stream, next highest in the feed mixture, next highest in the intermediate raffinate stream, and lowest in the raffinate stream. Likewise, the ratio of the less selectively adsorbed isomer and ethyl-benzene to the more selectively adsorbed para-xylene will be highest in the raffinate stream, next highest in the intermediate raffinate stream (the only raffinate stream in which ethylbenzene is present), next highest in the feed mixture, and the lowest in the extract stream. The term "desorbent material" shall mean generally a material capable of desorbing an extract component. The term "desorbent stream" or "desorbent input stream" indicates the stream through which desorbent material passes to the adsorbent. When the extract stream and the raffinate streams contain desorbent materials, at least a portion of the extract stream and preferably at least a portion of the raffinate streams from the adsorbent will be passed to separation means, typically fractionators, where at least a portion of desorbent material will be separated at separating conditions to produce an extract product and a raffinate product. The terms "extract product" and "raffinate product" mean products produced by the process containing, respectively, an extract component and a raffinate component in higher concentrations than those found in the respective extract stream and the raffinate stream. The term "selective pore volume" of the adsorbent is defined as the volume of the adsorbent which selectively adsorbs extract components from a feed mixture. The term "non-selective void volume" of an adsorbent is the volume of an adsorbent which does not selectively retain an extract component from a feed mixture. This volume includes the cavities of the adsorbent which contain no adsorptive sites and the interstitial void spaces between adsorbent particles. The selective pore volume and the non-selective void volume are generally expressed in volumetric quantities and are of importance in determining the proper flow rates of fluid required to be passed into the process for efficient operations to take place for a given quantity of adsorbent. When adsorbent "passes" into an operational zone (which zones are used in a preferred embodiment of this process and are hereinafter defined and described) its non-selective void volume together with its selective pore volume carries fluid into that zone. The non-selective void volume is utilized in determining the amount of fluid which should pass into the same zone in a countercurrent direction to the adsorbent to displace the fluid present in the non-selective void volume. If the fluid flow rate passing into a zone is smaller than the non-selective void volume rate of adsorbent material passing into that zone, there is a net entrainment of liquid into the zone by the adsorbent. Since this net entrainment is a fluid present in non-selective void volume of the adsorbent, it in most instances comprises less selectively retained feed mixture components. The selective pore volume of an adsorbent can in certain instances adsorb portions of raffinate material from the fluid surrounding the adsorbent since in certain instances there is competition between extract material and raffinate material for adsorptive sites within the selective pore volume. If a large quantity of raffinate material with respect to extract material surrounds the adsorbent, raffinate material can be competitive enough to be adsorbed by the adsorbent.
Feed mixtures which can be utilized in the process of this invention will comprise a mixture of three components for which the adsorbent and desorbent material utilized exhibit relative selectivities for the components in a descending order of magnitude. A component may comprise more than one molecular species or isomer. For example, in the preferred embodiment of the invention, the first component is para-xylene, the second component is ethyl-benzene and the third component is a mixture of meta-xylene and ortho-xylene. The adsorbent-desorbent combination chosen for use in the preferred embodiment, hereinafter dicussed in greater detail, exhibits highest relative selectively for para-xylene, next highest for ethyl-benzene and lowest for meta and ortho-xylene.
To effect the separation of this invention the feed mixture is contacted with the particular adsorbent and the component having the highest relative selectivity is more selectively adsorbed and retained by the adsorbent while the other components are relatively unadsorbed and are removed from the interstitial void spaces between the particles of adsorbent and the surface of the adsorbent. The adsorbent containing the more selectively adsorbed component is referred to as a "rich" adsorbent-rich in the more selectively adsorbed component. The adsorbed component is then recovered from the rich adsorbent by contacting the rich adsorbent with a desorbent material.
The desorbent materials which can be used in this process will vary depending on the type of operation employed. The term "desorbent material" as used herein shall mean any fluid substance capable of removing a selectively adsorbed feed component from the adsorbent. In the swing-bed system in which the selectively adsorbed feed component is removed from the adsorbent by a purge stream desorbent material selection is not too critical and desorbent materials comprising gaseous hydrocarbons such as methane, ethane, etc., or other types of gases such as nitrogen or hydrogen may be used at elevated temperatures or reduced pressures or both to effectively purge the adsorbed feed component from the adsorbent. However, in adsorptive separation processes which employ zeolitic adsorbents and which are generally operated continuously at substantially constant pressures and temperatures to insure liquid phase, the desorbent material relied upon must be judiciously selected to satisfy several criteria. First the desorbent material must displace the extract components from the adsorbent with reasonable mass flow rates without itself being so strongly adsorbed as to unduly prevent the extract component from displacing the desorbent material in a following adsorption cycle. Expressed in terms of the selectivity (hereinafter discussed in more detail), it is preferred that the adsorbent be more selective for the extract component with respect to a raffinate component than it is for the desorbent material with respect to a raffinate component. Secondly, desorbent materials must be compatible with the particular adsorbent and the particular feed mixture. More specifically, they must not reduce or destroy the critical selectivity of the adsorbent for the extract components with respect to the raffinate component. Desorbent materials to be used in the process of this invention should additionally be substances which are easily separable from the feed mixture that is passed into the process. After desorbing the extract components of the feed, both desorbent material and the extract components are typically removed in admixture from the adsorbent. Likewise, one or more raffinate components is typically withdrawn from the adsorbent in admixture with desorbent material and without a method of separating at least a portion of desorbent material, such as distillation, neither the purity of the extract product nor the purity of the raffinate product would be very high. It is therefore contemplated that any desorbent material used in this process will have a substantially different average boiling point than that of the feed mixture to allow separation of desorbent material from feed components in the extract and raffinate streams by simple fractionation thereby permitting reuse of desorbent material in the process. The term "substantially different" as used herein shall mean that the difference between the average boiling point between the desorbent material and the feed mixture shall be at least about 5� C. The boiling range of the desorbent material may be higher or lower than that of the feed mixture.
In the preferred embodiment of the process of my invention, I have found that para-diethyl-benzene to be particularly effective when used with the hereinafter described adsorbent.
The prior art has recognized that certain characteristics of adsorbents are highly desirable, if not absolutely necessary, to the successful operation of a selective adsorption process. Among such characteristics are: adsorptive capacity for some volume of an extract component per volume of adsorption; the selective adsorption of an extract component with respect to a raffinate component and the desorbent material; and, sufficiently fast rates of adsorption and desorption of the extract components to and from the adsorbent.
Capacity of the adsorbent for adsorbing a specific volume of one or more extract component is, of course, a necessity; without such capacity the adsorbent is useless for adsorptive separation. Furthermore, the higher the adsorbent's capacity for an extract component the better is the adsorbent. Increased capacity of a particular adsorbent makes it possible to reduce the amount of adsorbent needed to separate the extract component contained in a particular charge rate of feed mixture. A reduction in the amount of adsorbent required for a specific adsorptive separation reduces the cost of the separation process. It is important that the good initial capacity of the adsorbent be maintained during actual use in the separation process over some economically desirable life.
The second necessary adsorbent characteristic is the ability of the adsorbent to separate components of the feed; or, in other words, that the adsorbent possess adsorptive selectivity, (B), for one component as compared to another component. Relative selectivity can be expressed not only for one feed component as compared to another but can also be expressed between any feed mixture component and the desorbent material. The selectivity, (B), as used throughout this specification is defined as the ratio of the two components of the adsorbed phase over the ratio of the same two components in the unadsorbed phase at equilibrium conditions.
Relative selectivity is shown as Equation 1 below: ##EQU1## where C and D are two components of the feed represented in volume percent and the subscripts A and U represent the adsorbed and unadsorbed phases respectively. The equilibrium conditions were determined when the feed passing over a bed of adsorbent did not change composition after contacting the bed of adsorbent. In other words, there was no net transfer of material occurring between the unadsorbed and adsorbed phases.
Where selectivity of two components approaches 1.0 there is no preferential adsorption of one component by the adsorbent with respect to the other; they are both adsorbed (or non-adsorbed) to about the same degree with respect to each other. As the (B) become less than or greater than 1.0 there is a preferential adsorption by the adsorbent for one component with respect to the other. When comparing the selectivity by the adsorbent of one component C over component D, a (B) larger than 1.0 indicates preferential adsorption of component C within the adsorbent. A (B) less than 1.0 would indicate that component D is preferentially adsorbed leaving an unadsorbed phase richer in component C and an adsorbed phase richer in component D. While separation of an extract component from a raffinate component is theoretically possible when the selectivity of the adsorbent for the extract component with respect to the raffinate component just exceeds a value of 1.0, it is preferred that such selectivity have a value approaching or exceeding 2. Like relative volatility, the higher the selectivity the easier the separation is to perform. Higher selectivities permit a smaller amount of adsorbent to be used in the process. Ideally desorbent materials should have a selectivity equal to about 1 or less than 1 with respect to all extract components so that all of the extract components can be extracted as a class and all raffinate components clearly rejected into the raffinate stream.
The third important characteristic is the rate of exchange of the extract component of the feed mixture material or, in other words, the relative rate of desorption of the extract component. This characteristic relates directly to the amount of desorbent material that must be employed in the process to recover the extract component from the adsorbent; faster rates of exchange reduce the amount of desorbent material needed to remove the extract component and therefore permit a reduction in the operating cost of the process. With faster rates of exchange, less desorbent material has to be pumped through the process and separated from the extract stream for reuse in the process.
To best evaluate promising adsorbent systems and to translate this type of data into a practical separation process requires actual testing of the best system in a continuous countercurrent liquid-solid contacting device. The general operating principles of such a device have been previously described and are found in Broughton U.S. Pat. No. 2,985,589. A specific laboratory-size apparatus utilizing these principles is described in deRosset et al U.S. Pat. No. 3,706,812. The equipment comprises multiple adsorbent beds with a number of access lines attached to distributors within the beds and terminating at a rotary distributing valve. At a given valve position, feed and desorbent are being introduced through two of the lines and the raffinate and extract streams are being withdrawn through two more. All remaining access lines are inactive and when the position of the distributing valve is advanced by one index all active positions will be advanced by one bed. This stimulates a condition in which the adsorbent physically moves in a direction countercurrent to the liquid flow. Additional details on the above-mentioned adsorbent testing apparatus and adsorbent evaluation techniques may be found in the paper "Separation of C8 Aromatics by Adsorption" by A. J. deRosset, R. W. Neuzil, D. J. Korous and D. H. Rosback presented at the American Chemical Society, Los Angeles, California, Mar. 28 through Apr. 2, 1971. The preceding references are incorporated herein by reference thereto.
Adsorbents to be used in the process of this invention will comprise specific crystalline aluminosilicates or molecular sieves. Particular crystalline aluminosilicates encompassed by the present invention include crystalline aluminosilicate cage structures in which the alumina and silica tetrahedra are intimately connected in an open three dimensional network. The tetrahedra are cross-linked by the sharing of oxygen atoms with spaces between the tetrahedra occupied by water molecules prior to partial or total dehydration of this zeolite. The dehydration of the zeolite results in crystals interlaced with cells having molecular dimensions. Thus, the crystalline aluminosilicates are often referred to as "molecular sieves" when the separation which they effect is dependent essentially upon differences between the sizes of the feed molecules as, for instance, when smaller normal paraffin molecules are separated from larger isoparaffin molecules by using a particular molecular sieve. In the process of this invention, however, the term "molecular sieves" although widely used is not strictly suitable since the separation of specific aromatic isomers is apparently dependent on differences in electrochemical attraction of the different isomers and the adsorbent rather than on pure physical size differences in the isomer molecules.
In hydrated form, the crystalline aluminosilicates generally encompass those zeolites represented by the formula 1 below:
M2/n O:Al2 O3 :wSiO2 :yH2 O Formula 1
where "M" is a cation which balances the electrovalence of the tetrahedra and is generally referred to as an exchangeable cationic site, "n" represents the valence of the cation, "w" represents the moles of SiO2, and "y" represents the moles of water. The generalized cation "M" may be monovalent, divalent or trivalent cations or mixtures thereof.
The prior art has generally recognized that adsorbents comprising the type X and the type Y zeolites can be used in certain adsorptive separation processes. These zeolites are described and defined in U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,882,244 and 3,120,007 respectively.
The type X structured zeolite in the hydrated or partially hydrated form can be represented in terms of mole oxides as shown in formula 2 below:
(0.9�0.2)M2/n O:Al2 O3 :(2.5�0.5)SiO2 :yH2 O Formula 2
where "M" represents at least one cation having a valence of not more than 3, "n" represents the valence of "M", and "y" is a value up to about 9 depending upon the identity of "M" and the degree of hydration of the crystal. As noted from Formula 2 the SiO2 /Al2 O3 mole ratio is 2.5�0.5. The cation "M" may be one or more of a number of cations such as the hydrogen cation, the alkali metal cation, or the alkaline earth cations, or other selected cations, and is generally referred to as an exchangeable cationic site. As the type X zeolite is initially prepared, the cation "M" is usually predominately sodium and the zeolite is therefore referred to as a sodium type X zeolite. Depending upon the purity of the reactants used to make the zeolite, other cations mentioned above may be present, however, as impurities.
The type Y structured zeolite in the hydrated or partially hydrated form can be similarly represented in terms of mole oxides are in formula 3 below:
(0.9�0.2)M2/n O:Al2 O3 :wSiO2 :yH2 O Formula 3
where "M" is at least one cation having a valence not more than 3, "n" represents the valence of "M", "w" is a value greater than about 3 up to 6, and "y" is a value up to about 9 depending upon the identity of "M", and the degree of hydration of the crystal. The SiO2 /Al2 O3 mole ratio for type Y structured zeolites can thus be from about 3 to about 6. Like the type X structured zeolite, the cation "M" may be one or more of a variety of cations but, as the type Y zeolite is initially prepared, the cation "M" is also usually predominately sodium. The type Y zeolite containing predominately sodium cations at the exchangeable cationic sites is therefore referred to as a sodium-type Y zeolite.
Cations occupying exchangeable cationic sites in the zeolite may be replaced with other cations by ion exchange methods generally known to those having ordinary skill in the field of crystalline aluminosilicates. Such methods are generally performed by contacting the zeolite or a base material containing the zeolite with an aqueous solution of the soluble salt of the cation or cations desired to be placed upon the zeolite. After the desired degree of exchange takes place the sieves are removed from the aqueous solution, washed, and dried to a desired water content. By such methods the sodium cations and any non-sodium cations which might be occupying exchangeable sites as impurities in a sodium-type X or sodium-type Y zeolite can be partially or essentially completely replaced with other cations.
The term "base material" as used herein shall refer to a material containing an X or a Y zeolite and amorphous material which can be used to make the adsorbents used in my process. The zeolite will typically be present in the base material in amounts ranging from about 75 wt. % to about 98 wt. % of the base material based on volatile free composition. Volatile free compositions are generally determined after the base material has been calcined at 900� C. in order to drive off all volatile matter. The remainder of the base material will generally be amorphous material such as silica, alumina or silica-alumina mixtures or compounds, such as clays, which material is present in intimate mixture with the small particles of the zeolite material. This amorphous material may be an adjunct of the manufacturing process for X or Y zeolite (for example, intentionally incomplete purification of either zeolite during its manufacture) or it may be added to relatively pure X or Y zeolite but in either case its usual purpose is as a binder to aid in forming or agglomerating the hard crystalline particles of the zeolite. Normally the base material will be in the form of particles such as extrudates, aggregates, tablets, macrospheres or granules having a desired particle size range. The adsorbent used in my process will preferably have a particle size range of about 16-60 mesh (Standard U.S. Mesh). Examples of suitable base materials which can be used to make the adsorbents employed in my process are "Molecular Sieves 13X" and "SK-40" both of which are available from the Linde Company, Tonawanda, N.Y. The first material of course contains X zeolite while the latter material contains Y zeolite.
I have found that the adsorbent that has demonstrated the best selectivity for the para-xylene in the preferred embodiment of my invention and which is therefore preferred for use in my process is an X zeolite containing barium at exchangeable cationic sites. Adsorbents for this process will preferably be made by essentially completely ion-exchanging sodium-type X or sodium-type Y base materials, in a particle size range of from about 20 to about 60 U.S. mesh, with the desired cation. Typically the ion exchanges will be done with aqueous solutions of the soluble salts, such as the chlorides, of the respective metals. The term "essentially complete" shall mean that the residual sodium content of the adsorbent after the ion exchange of the base material shall be less than about 2 wt. % Na2 O. After ion-exchange and water wash to remove excess ion exchange solution the adsorbent will be dried to reduce the water content as measured by loss on ignition (LOI) at 900� C. to less than about 10 wt. % and more preferably within a range of from about 2 to about 7 wt. %. Maintaining adsorbent water content within this range has been found to be necessary to maintain optimum adsorbent and process performance and water may be added to or removed from the process during operations as necessary to maintain this range. By knowing the initial water content of the adsorbent and by analyzing the process input and output streams for water content the water content of the adsorbent during process operation can be calculated. Water may be added to the adsorbent if necessary either on an intermittent or more preferably on a continuous basis by itself or in admixture with feed or desorbent material to maintain the desired concentration of water on the adsorbent. Water may be removed from the adsorbent if necessary by passing a very dry feed stream to the process and allowing the output streams to remove some water from the adsorbent until the desired range is achieved.
The adsorbent is employed in a countercurrent moving-bed or simulated moving-bed countercurrent flow system. With the moving-bed or simulated moving-bed flow systems a feed mixture and a desorbent material are continuously fed to the process and adsorption and desorption are continuously taking place which allows continuous production of an extract output stream and raffinate output streams. The basic operating principles and sequence of operation of one such simulated moving-bed countercurrent flow system are described in U.S. Pat. No. 2,985,589 incorporated herein by reference thereto. My invention utilizes the system described in U.S. Pat. No. 2,985,589, except for the provision in my invention for withdrawl of the additional intermediate raffinate stream. In such a system it is the progressive movement of multiple liquid access points down an adsorbent chamber that simulates the upward movement of an adsorbent contained in the chamber. Only five of the access lines are active at any one time; the feed input stream, desorbent inlet stream, raffinate and intermediate raffinate outlet streams, and extract outlet stream access lines. Coincident with this simulated upward movement of a solid adsorbent is the movement of a liquid occupying the void volume of the packed bed of adsorbent. So that countercurrent contact is maintained, a liquid flow down the adsorbent chamber may be provided by a pump. As an active liquid access point moves through a cycle, that is, from the top of the chamber to the bottom, the chamber circulation pump moves through different zones which require different flow rates. A programmed flow controller may be provided to set and regulate these flow rates.
The active liquid access points effectively divided the adsorbent chamber into separate zones, each of which has a different function. In this embodiment of my process it is generally necessary that three separate operational zones be present in order for the desired operations to take place although in some instances an operational fourth zone may be used.
The adsorption zone, zone 1, is defined as the adsorbent located between a feed inlet stream and a raffinate outlet stream. In this zone, a feed mixture contacts an adsorbent, and extract component is absorbed, and a raffinate stream is withdrawn at the downstream boundary of the zone. The intermediate raffinate stream is withdrawn from the adsorption zone at a locus approximately midway between the upstream and downstream boundaries of the zone. Since the general flow through zone 1 is from the feed stream which passes into the zone to the raffinate streams which pass out of the zone, the flow in this zone is considered to be a downstream direction when proceeding from the feed inlet to the raffinate outlet streams.
Immediately upstream with respect to fluid flow in zone 1 is the purification zone, zone 2. The purification zone is defined as the adsorbent between an extract outlet stream and the feed inlet stream. The basic operations taking place in zone 2 are the displacement from the non-selective void volume of the adsorbent of any raffinate material carried into zone 2 by the shifting of adsorbent into this zone and the desorption of any raffinate material adsorbed within the selective pore volume of the adsorbent or adsorbed on the surfaces of the adsorbent particles. Purification is achieved by passing a portion of extract stream material leaving zone 3 (hereinafter described) into zone 2 at zone 2's upstream boundary, the extract outlet stream, to effect the displacement of raffinate material. The flow of material in zone 2 is in a downstream direction from the extract outlet stream to the feed inlet stream.
Immediately upstream of zone 2 with respect to the fluid flowing in zone 2 is the desorption zone or zone 3. The desorption zone is defined as the adsorbent between a desorbent inlet stream and the extract outlet stream. The function of the desorption zone is to allow a desorbent material which passes into this zone to displace the extract component which was adsorbed upon the adsorbent during a previous contact with feed in zone 1 in a prior cycle of operation. The flow of fluid in zone 3 is essentially in the same direction as that of zones 1 and 2.
In some instances an optional buffer zone, zone 4, may be utilized. This zone, defined as the adsorbent between the raffinate outlet stream at the downstream boundary of zone 1 and the desorbent inlet stream, if used, is located immediately upstream with respect to the fluid flow to zone 3. Zone 4 would be utilized to conserve the amount of desorbent utilized in the desorption step since a portion of the raffinate stream which is removed from zone 1 can be passed into zone 4 to displace desorbent material present in that zone out of that zone into the desorption zone. Zone 4 will contain enough adsorbent so that raffinate material present in the raffinate stream passing out of zone 1 and into zone 4 can be prevented from passing into zone 3 thereby contaminating the extract stream removed from zone 3. In the instances in which the fourth operational zone is not utilized the raffinate stream passed from zone 1 to zone 3 must be carefully monitored in order that the flow directly from zone 1 to zone 3 can be stopped when there is an appreciable quantity of raffinate material present in the raffinate stream passing from zone 1 into zone 3 so that the extract outlet stream is not contaminated.
A cyclic advancement of the input and output streams through the fixed bed of an adsorbent can be accomplished by utilizing a manifold system in which the valves in the manifold are operated in a sequential manner to effect the shifting of the input and output streams thereby allowing a flow of fluid with respect to solid adsorbent in a countercurrent manner. Another mode of operation which can effect the countercurrent flow of solid adsorbent with respect to fluid involves the use of a rotating disc valve in which the input and output streams are connected to the valve and the lines through which feed input, extract output, desorbent input and raffinate output streams pass are advanced in the same direction through the adsorbent bed. Both the manifold arrangement and disc valve are known in the art. Specifically rotary disc valves which can be utilized in this operation can be found in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,040,777 and 3,422,848. Both of the aforementioned patents incorporated herein by reference thereto, disclose a rotary type connection valve in which the suitable advancement of the various input and output streams from fixed sources can be achieved without difficulty.
In many instances, one operational zone will contain a much larger quantity of an adsorbent than some other operational zone. For instance, in some operations the buffer zone can contain a minor amount of an adsorbent as compared to the adsorbent required for the adsorption and purification zones. It can also be seen that when a very efficient desorbent material is used which can easily desorb an extract component from an adsorbent, it is possible that a relatively small amount of adsorbent will be needed in a desorption zone as compared to the adsorbent needed in the buffer zone or adsorption zone or purification zone. It is not required that an adsorbent be located in a single column which is divided into zones, and the use of multiple chambers or a series of columns is also within the scope of this embodiment.
It is not necessary that all of the input or output streams be simultaneously used, and in fact, in many instances some of the streams can be shut off while others effect an input or output of material. One apparatus which can be utilized to effect the process of this invention in a preferred embodiment will contain a series of individual beds connected by connecting conduits upon which are placed input or output taps to which the various input or output streams can be attached and alternately and periodically shifted to effect continuous operation. In some instances, the connecting conduits can be connected to transfer taps which during the normal operations function intermittently as a conduit through which material passes into or out of the process.
It is contemplated that at least a portion of the extract output stream will pass into a separation means wherein at least a portion of the desorbent material can be separated at separating conditions to produce an extract product containing a reduced concentration of desorbent material. Preferably, but not necessary to the operation of the process, at least a portion of each raffinate output stream will also be passed to a separation means wherein at least a portion of the desorbent material can be separated at separating conditions to produce a desorbent stream which can be reused in the process and a raffinate product containing a reduced concentration of desorbent material. Typically the concentration of desorbent material in the extract product and the raffinate products will be less than about 5 vol. % and more preferably less than about 1 vol. %. The separation means will typically be a fractionation column, the design and operation of which is well known to the separation art.
Reference can be made to D. B. Broughton U.S. Pat. No. 2,985,589 and to a paper entitled "Continuous Adsorptive Processing-A New Separation Technique" by D. B. Broughton presented at the 34th Annual Meeting of the Society of Chemical Engineers at Tokyo, Japan on Apr. 2, 1969, incorporated herein by reference thereto for further explanation of the simulated moving-bed countercurrent process flow scheme.
Although both liquid and vapor phase operations can be used in many adsorptive separation processes, liquid-phase operation is preferred for this process because of the lower temperature requirements and because of the higher yields of an extract product that can be obtained with liquid-phase operation over those obtained with vapor-phase operation. Adsorption conditions will include a temperature range of from about 20� C. to about 250� C. with about 100� C. to about 200� C. being more preferred and a pressure range of from about atmospheric to about 500 psig. with from about atmospheric to about 250 psig. being more preferred to insure liquid phase. Desorption conditions will include the same range of temperatures and pressure as used for adsorption conditions.
The size of the units which can utilize the process of this invention can vary anywhere from those of pilot-plant scale (see for example my assignee's U.S. Pat. No. 3,706,812) to those of commercial scale and can range in flow rates from as little as a few cc an hour to many thousands of gallons per hour.
The following illustrative embodiment is presented for illustration purposes and more specifically is presented to illustrate the selectivity relationships that make the process of my invention possible. Reference to specific cations, desorbent materials, feed mixtures and operating conditions is not intended to unduly restrict the scope and spirit of the claims attached hereto.
This illustrative embodiment illustrates the preferred embodiment of the present invention in which the feed stream comprises a mixture of ethyl benzene and ortho, meta and para-xylene. The desorbent used is diethyl benzene, and the adsorbent used is X-zeolite ion-exchanged with barium as the predominant cation. The relative selectivities for this system are as follows:
______________________________________ β______________________________________para-xylene 1.8ethyl benzene 1.0meta-xylene 0.5ortho-xylene 0.5______________________________________
In addition to the large commercial market for para-xylene, there is also a limited market for pure meta-xylene. The conventional simulated moving-bed scheme, however, in which para-xylene is the extract component, does not enable recovery of pure meta-xylene because meta-xylene cannot be readily recovered from the raffinate by fractionation because it is inseparable from the small amounts of para-xylene that appear in the raffinate and is likewise difficult to separate from ethyl benzene. Meta-xylene, however, is readily separated by distillation from mixtures with ortho-xylene.
In view of the above, my invention is particularly applicable to the preferred embodiment in which para-xylene is the first component, ethyl benzene the second component, and a mixture of meta-xylene and ortho-xylene is the third component. The first component comprises the extract stream, a mixture of the second and third components the intermediate raffinate stream, and the third component the raffinate stream. Since the meta- and ortho-xylene comprising the raffinate stream is free of para-xylene and substantially free of ethyl-benzene, essentially pure meta-xylene may be recovered from the raffinate stream by simple fractionation. The intermediate raffinate stream is typically passed to an isomerization unit for conversion of the ethyl benzene to xylene.
The following is a representative material balance illustrative of the preferred embodiment of the invention.

Case Study
Provide high voltage connectors and contactors to empower electric supercars to achieve top speeds that have been out of reach of electric cars.
Our Approach
TE donated products and support for the Ohio State student-designed, battery-powered Venturi Buckeye Bullet 3. The supercar was designed to travel 400 miles per hour. Only a handful of gasoline-powered cars have ever achieved that speed; a feat which has, so far, been out of reach for electric vehicles.
The Results
The Venturi Buckeye Bullet 3 is on course to break the 307 miles per hour electric car speed world record, set by its predecessor the Venturi Buckeye Bullet 2.5. TE helped advance the future of electric vehicles, collaborating with Ohio State by donating high voltage connectors and contactors that protect the supercar under extreme conditions.
One of the best ways we've been able to build our internal team is by forming relationships with organizations like Ohio State University. It's a great pipeline for recruiting, and, at the same time, we're able to utilize their resources as a research institution to help make TE products better.
