Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of petroleum chemical industry, concretely relates to the device of 1-butene of ether post carbon four. BACKGROUND

[0002] Butene is carbon four olefin, can be used as polyethylene comonomer, also can be used for producing methyl ethyl ketone, amyl aldehyde, isodecyl alcohol and other fine chemical products, the use is very extensive.1-Butene mostly comes from carbon four hydrocarbon, is mainly separated through super-precision rectification or extraction rectification.Using the byproduct mixed carbon four of steam cracking device to produce 1-butene method is to extract mixed carbon four of steam cracking device through butadiene, then converts isobutene through MTBE device and takes as 1-butene device's feed, removes light component and water through the isobutene removal tower, then separates through 1-butene rectification tower and obtains polymerization grade 1-butene.Mixed carbon four separation is the main process route of producing 1-butene, and domestic numerous oil refineries, catalytic cracking device, ethylene cracking device, coal methanol to olefin device can provide abundant mixed carbon four raw materials. Because the relative volatility of each component of mixed carbon four is close, it is difficult to separate through ordinary rectification method. From the angle of saving energy consumption, reducing process complexity, needs to remove butadiene, isobutene and other components in mixed carbon four in advance, so that 1-butene is easy to separate and purify. The general practice is to realize the separation or conversion of butadiene through butadiene extraction, selective hydrogenation and other technologies on the basis of mixed carbon four separation process technology, then optimizes the conversion and separation of isobutene through etherification, and finally obtains 1-butene through precision rectification. This process has limited raw material sources, and with the increasing demand for 1-butene, it is necessary to expand the raw material sources of 1-butene, and there are many catalytic cracking devices and coal to olefin devices, in the process of 1-butene separation, butadiene and isobutene have similar boiling points with 1-butene, so the above two components must be removed to obtain 1-butene product, and then 1-butene product is obtained through precision rectification.

[0003] The ether post carbon four compound refers to the carbon four fraction treated through etherification reaction in the oil refining process. Compared with mixed carbon four, most of the olefins in the treated carbon four fraction have been converted into ethers, so the olefin content in the ether post carbon four fraction is low, mainly including butane, unreacted butene and other saturated hydrocarbons. Because the olefin content in the ether post carbon four is low, the process for preparing 1-butene from this raw material needs a lot of energy consumption, and 1-butene is difficult to separate and has large loss.
