The invention discloses a method for isomerizing 2-
butene to produce 1-
butene, which is characterized in that the method comprises the following steps: calcining catalyst carrier
alumina at a temperature of 400-600°C for 1-12 hours to increase the surface area of the
alumina At 150-210m2 / g, dissolve 0.146-23.82 parts by weight of
metal salt in 82-100 parts by weight of deionized water to prepare an
aqueous solution, and then put 57 parts by weight of the catalyst carrier that has been roasted into the above-mentioned
metal salt solution. Stand and soak for 16-24 hours, filter off the residual liquid, bake at a temperature of 120-160°C for 4-10 hours until the water is completely removed, and then bake at a temperature of 500-600°C for 1-12 hours to obtain a
metal composite oxide catalyst; The catalyst prepared by the above method is loaded in a fixed-
bed catalytic reactor, and the 2-
butene gas with a content of 85.0-99.0% is passed through the catalyst
bed, at a temperature of 300-480°C and a pressure of 0.1-0.5MPa, the 2-butene Under the condition that the gas hourly
space velocity of the feed is 60-900h-1, the
double bond isomerization reaction is carried out, the gas after the reaction is regularly sampled and analyzed, and the 1-butene content is 19.0-27.0%.
