Problems solved by technology

However, according to this method, heavy components that are a by-product in the first step, such as isobutylene dimers and trimers, etc., are concentrated, and as a result, the activity of the methyl-tert-butyl ether decomposition catalyst is significantly reduced.
[0003] On the other hand, when taking out a part of the heavy components to avoid these heavy components from being too concentrated, the raw material methyl-tert-butyl ether will be together with these heavy components, causing economical disadvantages

Embodiment 1

[0043] Embodiment 1 and comparative example 1 such as figure 1 As shown in the flow chart of , Example 1 uses the following first step to fourth step. The abbreviations in the table are as follows: MTBE: methyl-tert-butyl ether; DIB: isobutylene dimer; DME: dialkyl ether; and TBA: tert-butanol.

[0044] The first step: in the presence of a solid acid catalyst containing alumina, the decomposition reaction of methyl-tert-butyl ether is carried out to obtain isobutylene, methanol and dialkyl ether and by-product heavy components, wherein the heavy components include isobutylene di polymers and isobutylene terpolymers. A fixed bed gas phase reaction is used. The reaction temperature is 220°C, and the reaction pressure is 6kg / cm 2 g. The feed rate of methyl-tert-butyl ether is LHSV 3(h -1 ) The reaction gas becomes liquid after being cooled by heat recovery equipment.

[0045] The second step: washing the reaction liquid obtained in the first step with water, and separating ...

Abstract

A process for producing isobutylene and methanol comprising: a first step of subjecting methyl-tert-butyl ether to decomposition in the presence of a catalyst to obtain a reaction liquid; a second step of washing the resultant with water to separate the reaction liquid into an oil layer and an aqueous layer; a third step of subjecting the oil layer to distillation to obtain a fraction containing isobutylene and a dialkyl ether from the top of a distillation column, a fraction containing methyl-tert-butyl ether and the heavy components from the bottom of the column and a fraction containing methyl-tert-butyl ether from a side cut of the column, and recycling the side cut fraction to the first step; and a fourth step of subjecting the aqueous layer to distillation to obtain a fraction containing methanol from the top of a distillation column and a fraction containing water from the bottom of the column.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method for producing isobutene and methanol. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method for producing isobutene and methanol, wherein methyl-tert-butyl ether is decomposed into isobutene and methanol, isobutene and methanol are separated, and then individually recovered, thereby suppressing the production of The loss of methyl-tert-butyl ether as a raw material has the effect of obtaining isobutene and methanol very economically. Background technique [0002] A method for recovering isobutene and methanol is known by decomposing methyl-tert-butyl ether into isobutene and methanol and separately separating isobutene and methanol (for example, JP 47-04188B). However, according to this method, heavy components such as isobutylene dimer and trimer etc. which are a by-product in the first step are concentrated, and as a result, the activity of the methyl-tert-butyl ether decomposition catalyst is signifi...
