Problems solved by technology

The production process of this process is long, and there are many equipments. It needs two etherifications to ensure the production of high-purity MTBE, which ultimately leads to poor economical efficiency of this process.
It is reported that tert-butanol and methanol are used as raw materials to produce high-purity MTBE. The process flow is relatively shortened, but the preparation cost of anhydrous tert-butanol is relatively high, resulting in low economic efficiency of the process.

Abstract

The invention relates to a high-purity MTBE production process, which comprises: a, completely mixing C4 and partial methanol to form a homogeneous phase; b, carrying out an etherification reaction onthe obtained mixture; c, feeding the mixture after the reaction and the remaining methanol into a second static mixer; d, feeding the mixture from the second static mixer into a catalytic rectification tower, continuously carrying out a catalytic rectification reaction on the isobutene and the methanol in the mixture under the action of a catalyst to generate MTBE, and separating C4, methanol andMTBE through rectification; e, feeding the crude product obtained from the bottom of the catalytic rectification tower, and further purifying the MTBE product through rectification; and carrying outadsorbing refining on the product from the top of the rectification tower, such that it is ensured that the product can meet the quality requirement. According to the present invention, with the high-purity MTBE production process, the production of the high-purity MTBE is ensured, and the production process is simplified; and by using the adsorbing refining process, the number of the trays of therectification tower is reduced so as to reduce the energy consumption of the separation device.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a production process of high-purity MTBE. Background technique [0002] Methyl tert-butyl ether MTBE is a colorless, transparent, high-octane liquid with an ethereal odor. It has a high octane number, suitable oxygen content, and is an ideal blending component for the production of unleaded gasoline. As a gasoline additive, it can increase the octane number of gasoline, and has stable chemical properties, high combustion efficiency, and can inhibit the formation of ozone. The gasoline added with MTBE can also improve the cold start characteristics and acceleration performance of the car, and reduce the CO content in the exhaust gas. In addition, MTBE is also an important chemical raw material. It is used to produce high-purity isobutylene through its cracking, and then to produce isobutylene rubber and other products. It is widely used in fine chemical industry, but the purity requirement is high. [0003] At present, the pur...
