Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for producing butadiene through an oxidative dehydrogenation reaction. The production method according to the present invention may easily regulate an input ratio between oxygen and nitrogen that are used as raw material, such that a loss may be minimized of butadiene that is included in a second fraction stream (purge stream) and discharged to outside of the system. Consequently, an economic competitiveness of the process, such as a reduced raw material cost and an improved productivity may be realized.
Abstract:
Provided are a separation system for easily recovering normal butene from an olefin fraction including isobutene, isobutane, 1-butene, 2-butene, and normal butane, and a separation process system using the method. Since the separation system may easily convert 1-butene included in the olefin fraction to 2-butene, normal butene may be effectively separated and recovered by factional distillation and each recovered fraction may be easily refluxed even if the use of a reflux system using a refrigerant is reduced or excluded. Thus, economic efficiency may be improved and simultaneously, separation efficiency may be increased.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for producing butadiene through an oxidative dehydrogenation reaction, the method including steps of a) introducing a first stream which includes C4 fraction, steam, oxygen (O2), and nitrogen (N2) into a reactor which is filled with catalyst to perform oxidative dehydrogenation reaction; b) selectively absorbing butadiene, which is obtained from the reactor, into an absorption solvent, and separating and removing C4 mixture other than the dutadiene and light gas product; and c) recovering and purifying the butadiene. Through integration of the gas separating and purifying steps by using the single absorption solvent during production of butadiene, equipment costs and operating costs accruing from repeated introduction and removal of solvent are reduced, thereby ensuring economic competitiveness of the process.
Abstract:
Provided is a method for recycling energy in process of butadiene preparation, which includes, in the process of preparing butadiene using oxidative dehydrogenation reaction, steps of: a) supplying part or all of a light gas discharged from a solvent absorption tower to a turbine to produce electricity; b) passing the light gas passed through the turbine through one or more device units provided with a heat exchanger; and c) feeding the light gas passed through the device units provided with the heat exchanger into a reactor, according to which more economical butadiene preparation process is provided, by reducing net energy value required in process of butadiene preparation using oxidative dehydrogenation reaction.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method of recovering an absorption solvent in a butadiene production process through oxidative dehydrogenation, the method including: a) transferring a light gas discharged from an upper portion of an absorption tower to a wash column; and b) recovering the absorption solvent included in the light gas by a solvent circulating in the wash column. Since an absorption solvent may be prevented from being introduced into a reactor, or being discharged to an outside of a system, economic efficiency of a butadiene production process is improved.
