초록

C4 잔사유 III는 올레핀의 함량이 높음에도 불구하고 이를 활용할 방법이 그리 많지 않다. 대부분 수소화반응을 통하여 부탄으로 전환하여 LPG로 판매하고 있다. C4 잔사유 III는 매우 적은 이소부텐 및 이소부탄을 포함한 2-부텐이 농후한 유분으로, 이 유분 중 2-부텐은 $400{\sim}600^{\circ}C$에서 소성시켜 제조한 에타 알루미나 촉매로 이성화하여 열역학적 평형 수율 근처에서 선택적 위치 이성화시켜 1-부텐으로 전환된다. 전체 공정은 이성화 반응기, 고선택적으로 1-부텐으로 전환시킨 유분을 농축하고 반응물을 제조하는 1-부텐 분리탑과 고순도의 1-부텐 컬럼으로 공정으로 구성되어있다. 1-부텐 생산량은 종래의 분리에 의한 것보다 40~60 wt% 증가한다.

There is not much method of using C4 Raffinate III, despite having high olefin contents. The majority of the C4 Raffinate III have been converted into n-butane through hydrogenation, and sold as LPG. The C4 Raffinate III is rich 2-butenes with very low isobutene and isobutene contents. The 2-butenes are converted into 1-butene in the vicinity of thermodynamic equilibrium yield through positional isomerization with n-almumina catalyst calcinated at $400{\sim}600^{\circ}C$. The overall process is composed of isomerization-reactor, de-1-buteneizer to prepare the reactants and to enrich reactive products, and 1-butene column to product a high purity 1-butene. The production of 1-butene increases by 40~60 wt% with the selective positional isomerization from the existing separation method.
