The invention relates to a method for using
waste gas of a butadiene extraction unit, comprising the following steps: (1) condensation and pressurization: introducing
waste gas materials from the extraction unit to a condenser, condensing the materials to liquid phases to enter a
mixing tank, completely mixing the liquid phases with diluted
alkane from hydrogenated products of step (2) in the mixed tank, then entering to a pump, pressurizing by the pump; and (2) hydrogenation: mixing the mixed
material flow pressurized in step (1) with
cycling alkane from hydrogenated products, adding
hydrogen in a certain ratio and then entering a hydrogenation reactor, cooling the hydrogenated products at the outlet of the reactor to normal temperature, and dividing the cooled products into three parts,wherein one part is taken as diluted
alkane to enter the mixed tank in step (1), one part is taken as
cycling alkane to enter inlet of the reactor, and the rest part is served as alkane products. Thehydrogenated products in the invention can be taken as the fuels, can be returned to a
cracking furnace as
cracking stocks to replace parts of
naphtha, and also can be taken as high-purity alkane which is sent to a downstream unit for being a
raw material, thereby reaching the purposes of saving resources and improving the rate of multipurpose utilization of C4.
