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.

$V_{0.9}Sb_{0.1}O_x$ systems, bulk and deposited on different supports (five types of $\gamma$-aluminas, $\alpha$-alumina, silica-alumina, silica gel, magnesium oxide), have been tested in the oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) of iso-butane. Catalytic performance of VSb oxides has shown to be highly dependent on the support and the nature of the support decreasing in a series: $\gamma$-$Al_2O_3$ > $\alpha$-$Al_2O_3$ > Si-Al-O > $SiO_2$ $\approx$ MgO $\gg$ unsupported. Variation of the V-Sb-O-loading in the studied range of coverage (0.5-2 theoretical monolayer) only slightly influences the catalysts' activity and selectivity. The best catalytic performance of $\gamma$-alumina-supported $V_{0.9}Sb_{0.1}O_x$ systems can be explained by the optimal surface interaction between support and supported components resulting in the formation of well-spread amorphous active $VO_x$-component with vanadium in a high oxidation state.
