摘要

Abstract

The oversupply of diesel in China necessitates efficient separation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons from fluidized catalytic cracking diesel for value-added utilization. However

purification is hindered by alkane and monocyclic aromatic interference. In this work

we propose a solvent-screening strategy for extractive distillation based on molecular polarity and interaction energy analysis. Quantum chemical calculations identified ethylene glycol (aromatic solubility) and

-dimethylformamide (alkane selectivity) as optimal solvents

with weak hydrogen bonds (

e.g.

O-H…π

C-H…π) governing aromatic interactions. Two process designs were developed: (1) solvent extraction followed by primary extractive distillation (purity 95.0% (mass)) and (2) direct two-stage extractive distillation (purity 92.0% (mass)). This work provides a flexible framework for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon separation tailored to market demands while elucidating solvent-solute interactions at the molecular level.
