The invention provides a methyl tert-butyl
ether crude product purification method and a methyl tert-butyl
ether production method, the method comprises
distillation separation of a methyl tert-butyl
ether-containing solution in a
distillation ctower, the methyl tert-butyl ether-containing solution contains
methanol, sulfides, mixture C4 and methyl tert-butyl ether; before the
distillation separation, the sulfides capable of being oxidized, in the methyl tert-butyl ether-containing solution, are oxidized; distillation conditions are controlled for collecting of the
methanol and the mixture C4 from the top of the
tower, the oxidized sulfides and / or the sulfides which are not oxidized are collected from the bottom of the
tower, and a methyl tert-butyl ether-containing
material flow is collected from a side line. According to the method, super low
sulfur methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) and low
sulfur unreacted C4 can be produced only by use of a
catalytic distillation or an
azeotropic distillation device in the prior art, the method has the advantages of simple desulfurization process, low operation
energy consumption, low investment of equipment and maintenance costs, and is very suitable for industrial application.
