PROCESS FOR OBTAINING WAX FRACTIONS FROM A FEED WAX
A process for obtaining a wax fraction from a feed wax, the process comprising: (a) providing a molten feed wax in a container; (b) solidifying the feed wax by cooling; (c) increasing the temperature of the feed wax to a temperature at which a first fraction of the feed wax melts, said first fractio...

Zusammenfassung: | A process for obtaining a wax fraction from a feed wax, the process comprising: (a) providing a molten feed wax in a container; (b) solidifying the feed wax by cooling; (c) increasing the temperature of the feed wax to a temperature at which a first fraction of the feed wax melts, said first fraction having a congealing point which is lower than the congealing point of the feed wax; (d) recovering the first fraction of the feed wax; (e) increasing the temperature of the remaining feed wax to a temperature at which a further fraction of the feed wax melts; and (f) recovering the further fraction of the feed wax. The feed wax comprises at least 75 wt.-% of linear alkanes and each recovered fraction comprises at least 19 wt.-% of the feed wax. |
