The invention provides a methyl tert-butyl 
ether crude product purification method and a methyl tert-butyl 
ether production method, the method comprises 
distillation separation of a methyl tert-butyl 
ether-containing solution in a 
distillation ctower, the methyl tert-butyl ether-containing solution contains 
methanol, sulfides, mixture C4 and methyl tert-butyl ether; before the 
distillation separation, the sulfides capable of being oxidized, in the methyl tert-butyl ether-containing solution, are oxidized; distillation conditions are controlled for collecting of the 
methanol and the mixture C4 from the top of the 
tower, the oxidized sulfides and / or the sulfides which are not oxidized are collected from the bottom of the 
tower, and a methyl tert-butyl ether-containing 
material flow is collected from a side line. According to the method, super low 
sulfur methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) and low 
sulfur unreacted C4 can be produced only by use of a 
catalytic distillation or an 
azeotropic distillation device in the prior art, the method has the advantages of simple desulfurization process, low operation 
energy consumption, low investment of equipment and maintenance costs, and is very suitable for industrial application.
