2. Separation processes

2.1 Types of separation used in the aromatic complex

Various separation techniques are used within the aromatic complex. These techniques are used :

or to isolate certain cuts; for example the separation of the C ₈ -aromatic cut from heavier compounds by distillation or the separation between aromatic compounds and other compounds on the $C_{7^{-}}$ cut by extractive distillation;
or to produce high-purity aromatic compounds, such as toluene by distillation or paraxylene by molecular sieve adsorption....
