Gas phase-MTBE-sulfur balance
Thread Content
This post was last edited by karamay on 2015-12-25 at 17:13. Has anyone conducted studies on the vapor-phase MTBE-sulfur balance? It is said that the sulfur content in MTBE is 6-10 times that of the raw materials, while in our case it’s only around 3-4 times. Has anyone done such studies? Could you provide one for reference? Thank you!
The multiple depends on the isobutylene content in the feedstock C4. . .
Isobutylene content: 14-17%. How many times should it be? Is 14-17% high?
It can basically be calculated by first determining what proportion of the sulfur composition consists of heavy sulfur compounds; the vast majority of these end up in MTBE, while light sulfur compounds account for around 10–20% in MTBE. . .
