The invention relates to a preparing method of 2-methyl-2-
butene. The method comprises following steps of: 1) feeding a
raffinate C5
raw material into a first-section fixed-
bed reactor, with the middle of the first-section fixed-
bed reactor being filled with a ZSM-5
sodium type
aluminosilicate crystal molecular sieve, and allowing n-
pentene in the
raffinate C5 to be isomerized into isopentene; 2) feeding the reaction materials obtained in the step 1) into a second-section
fixed bed isomerization reactor and isomerizing 2-methyl-1-
butene into 2-methyl-2-
butene; 3) feeding the reaction materials in the step 2) into a rectifying
tower for rectification, discharging 3-methyl-1-butene, n-
pentane,
isopentane, a small amount of unreacted 1-
pentene, 2-methyl-1-butene, and other components from the
tower top, and obtaining unreacted 2-
pentene, 2-methyl-2-butene and a small amount of n-
pentane and heavy components from the
tower bottom; 4) feeding the tower bottom material obtained in the step 3) into a rectifying tower for continuous rectification, obtaining n-
pentane and 2-pentene from the tower top, and obtaining 2-methyl-2-butene and a small amount of heavy components from the tower bottom; and 5) feeding the materials discharged from the tower top in the step 4) to a feeding port of a first-section
isomerization reactor, mixing with a fresh
raffinate C5
raw material, and feeding the mixture to the first-section
isomerization reactor. Compared with the prior art, the method has advantages of high reaction yields, good anti-coking performance, long catalyst service lifetime, and the like.
