On the dehydrogenation of isobutane to isobutylene

2015-11-09View Original

Thread Content

Xiaobai is seeking help: he wants to produce high-purity isobutylene through isobutane dehydrogenation. Why, after isobutane dehydrogenation yields isobutylene, cannot isobutane and isobutylene be separated directly to obtain high-purity isobutylene? Why is it necessary to use an MTBE unit to get high-purity isobutylene? Thank you!

Since the boiling points of the components are close to each other, it is extremely difficult to separate them by distillation; other methods must be used instead

Do you need isobutylene startup technical services?

The purity of isobutylene obtained from the cryogenic tank is around 40%; separating isobutane from isobutylene is very difficult, so etherification followed by etherolysis is used to produce isobutylene.
