removing 3 wt% olefins from paraffins ( C5 HYDROCARBONS )

removing 3 wt% olefins from paraffins ( C5 HYDROCARBONS )

(OP)
what is the best solution for separation of olefins from paraffins?
The solvent is iso + n-pentane and contains 3 wt% of olefins (Br.No 7000)
note: I used 2 methods and it decreased to Br.No 50 but I dont know is there any better technique?

Have you considered hydroconversion to paraffins ?

(OP)
I didnt tried it yet , I need paraffinic hydrocarbons.
Do you think its best among the rest?
I tried acid wash and using molecular sieve.also we can use clay treating method (but its not economical).

The economics depend on a series of factors, among which one can mention the size of the plant. If it is a pilot plant, bottled hydrogen could be a reasonable answer.

I suspect that hydrogenation of your olefins would be the best solution. Relatively simple, well known, and effective. (I'm assuming you're doing this on an industrial scale.)

Dear djack77949
Hi
I appreciate your answer.
Do you offer me to use hydrogenation or you thin its not suitable. I think your last sentence does not support the first sentence

eld,
I am suggesting that you use hydrogenation to achieve your objective. (Last sentence was just some general rambling.)
