    C4 Derivatives

    Uploaded by

    daabgchi
    The document discusses the separation and production of derivatives of C4 hydrocarbons such as butadiene, butylenes, and isobutylene. It describes traditional separation methods like fractional distillation and selective absorption using copper ammonium acetate or acetonitrile. For butadiene removal, these techniques use extractive distillation or absorption to preferentially separate butadiene. For isobutylene removal, techniques like absorption in sulfuric acid or molecular sieves are used to selectively separate isobutylene from other C4 components. After removal of butadiene and isobutylene, the remaining C4 stream requires no further separation.

    Derivatives of C4 Hydrocarbons

    raw materials to be considered are butadiene, n-butylenes and isobutylene


    butylenes produced from refinery catalytic crackers
    butadiene prod. fr. butylenes dehydrogenation
    demand for isobutylene : production of butyl rubber and polybutenes
    industrial development of C4 prodts dominated by butadiene used in synthetic
    rubber industry

    Separation of C4 Hydrocarbons

    straight fractional distillation will not meet the requirement of separating the C 4
    HC components
    precise nature of C4 separation differ according to individual requirements
    common practice to first remove butadiene present in stream
    traditional method of extraction and recovery involves selective absorption of
    butadiene in ammoniacal cuprous acetate
    achieved in multistage extractor/settler system with the HC stream
    flowing countercurrent to the copper ammonium acetate solution
    butadiene desorbed fr. the solution by an increase in temp. and
    reduction in press & purified by distillation
    popular technique by extractive distillation using external
    component that affect the relative volatilities of C4 HCs
    furfural as external component then changed to
    acetonitrile
    using acetonitrile, C4 mixt. distilled in presence of
    aqueous solvent, butadiene dissolves preferentially and butadiene/solvent
    mixt. Withdrawn fr. bottom of column
    2nd column, butadiene separated fr. acetonitrile
    3rd column, final purification achieved
    * aspect of butadiene recovery is purity of final
    prodt. in particular effective removal of traces of acetylenes and unwanted dienes
    butadiene free C4 stream treated for isobutylene
    removal
    in refinery catalytic cracker C4 streams becomes
    the 1st operation
    achieved by selective absorption in 65%
    sulphuric acid @ 10-20oC as absorption medium
    isobutylene recovered by diluting acid to
    40-50% concentration and heating or to warm fat acid containing absorbed
    isobutylene to 80-100oC for a period after which isobutylene polymers abt.
    80% of total as diisobutylene, separate out as an upper HC layer
    separation of isobutylene fr. nbutylenes usg. the versatile molecular sieve method
    molecular sieve prodt.
    designed to adsorb n-butylenes and to exclude the isobutylene

    n-butylenes are purged fr.


    molecular sieve bed by higher boiling material which may be separated fr. nbutylenes by distillation
    after butadiene
    and isobutylene removal the remaining C4 stream, comprising 3 n-butylene
    isomers with n-butane and isobutane does not require further separation
