Utilization of isobutane
Used to synthesize isooctane as a gasoline octane number improver
Supplying for alkylation units or re-purification to produce olefins – what was said above is absolutely correct.
Alkylation can be used to purify and produce high-purity isobutylene
1. Isobutane is dehydrogenated to produce isobutylene, which is then used to manufacture downstream products. 2. Isobutane can be converted into isobutyl hydroperoxide, which reacts with propylene to yield propylene oxide; tert-butanol is produced as a by-product, and tert-butanol can be converted back into isobutylene through dehydration. Alkanes have limited uses; they need to be converted into alkenes in order to produce more downstream products.
