The present application relates to the technical field of
petroleum chemical industry, and particularly relates to 1-
butene prepared from etherized C4. The 1-
butene is prepared through the process of
alkyl-
alkene separation, selective hydrogenation, deep etherization, precise rectification and
methanol recovery. The
alkyl-
alkene separation is used to enrich the content of
alkene. In the case of high alkene content, the 1-
butene is easier to separate, and the loss of 1-butene is smaller. The 1-butene product is separated first after deep etherization, and then the
methanol recovery process is carried out. On the one hand, the
methanol is enriched in the separation of 1-butene, and the methanol enters the top of the light-removing
tower, which can reduce the amount of C4 that needs to be treated in the methanol
recovery, improve the concentration of methanol, and reduce the
energy consumption of methanol recovery. On the other hand, water is used as an extractant in the methanol recovery process. Therefore, if the methanol recovery is carried out before the separation of 1-butene product, the
water content of 1-butene may exceed the standard. The acidic substances brought by deep etherization will cause the
reflux tank at the top of the light-removing
tower to be severely corroded in water.
