The invention provides a continuous rectification
recovery process of 1, 2-butadiene, which comprises the following steps: preheating a heavy C4
raw material and an extraction agent, feeding the preheated heavy C4
raw material and extraction agent into an
extractive distillation tower,
steaming out a light component A from the
tower top, condensing, and returning to the
tower top as
reflux; the heavy component A is rectified in an extractant separation tower, a light component B is distilled out from the tower top, part of the light component B returns to serve as
reflux, and the other part of the light component B enters a heavy component removal tower; the heavy component B returns to the
extractive distillation tower through the
heat exchanger. After heavy components of the light component B are removed in the heavy component removal tower, the light component C is evaporated out from the tower top, condensed and fed into a 1, 2-butadiene
storage tank. And the heavy component C finally flows into a waste
liquid tank. Wherein the heavy C4
raw material and the extraction agent are preheated by a
heat exchanger, and the
heat exchanger uses the heavy component B as a heat source. By providing a simple, feasible, economical and efficient continuous
extractive distillation process, high-purity 1, 2-butadiene can be efficiently recovered from heavy C4 byproducts of a 1, 3-butadiene extraction device, and the content of the 1, 2-butadiene can reach 97%.
