The invention provides a method for separating 1-
butene in mixed C4, which is characterized in that a dividing wall column in an upper dividing wall form is used for separation, the
area ratio of a feeding side to a product extraction side is (1: 9)-(9: 1), a mixed C4 fraction enters the dividing wall column from the middle of the feeding side, the number of theoretical plates of the dividing wall column is 40-200, the operating pressure is 0.1-2Mpa, the
tower top temperature is 20-120 DEG C, the
tower bottom temperature is 30-200 DEG C, and the 1-
butene in the mixed C4 fraction is separated from the dividing wall column. C4 light components are extracted from the
tower top of the feeding side, 1-
butene-rich components are extracted from the tower top of the product extraction side, part of the 1-butene-rich components are condensed and refluxed, part of the 1-butene-rich components is discharged out of the device, part of the 1-butene-rich components is refluxed to the product extraction side through the tower top, a tower kettle product is heavy C4 components, part of the heavy C4 components is discharged out of the device, and part of the heavy C4 components is refluxed to the dividing wall tower from the tower kettle through the
reboiler. The method is short in process flow and high in efficiency, and the obtained 1-butene is high in purity.
