This invention discloses a highly efficient composite solubilizer for the hydration of butene to sec-butanol, belonging to the field of chemical process technology. Its composition includes: 0-60 parts of a polyether-based polymeric surfactant, 15-35 parts of a highly polar aprotic solvent, and 10-20 parts of a co-catalyst. The main solubilizing component of this invention disperses oily butene into extremely small droplets, allowing it to mix uniformly in water, thereby increasing the surface area for the reaction. The co-solvent, as the main component, provides a stable environment, ensuring that this highly mixed state is maintained for a certain period. The added additives, possessing both water and oil solubility, facilitate smoother dissolution of the mixture and help the reactants quickly contact the active sites of the catalyst. This accelerates the reaction rate of butene and water, significantly improving the efficiency of the one-time conversion to sec-butanol and greatly saving the large amount of energy required for material recycling.
