Abstract

Butadiene-1,3 is prepared by catalytic dehydrogenation of a gaseous hydrocarbon mixture containing a substantial quantity of n-butylenes of greater saturation than butadiene-1,3 at elevated temperature, e.g. 1000-1200 DEG F., utilizing a calcium-nickel phosphate catalyst, fractionation of the products to isolate the C4 fraction, and extraction of butadiene-1,3 from the C4 fraction with copper ammonium acetate, characterized by extracting with water, prior to the butadiene extraction, most of the ketones formed during the dehydrogenation reaction. The extraction with water is preferably affected prior to the fraction step, though it may be effected after. The gaseous reaction product from the dehydrogenation step in preferably cooled to 160 DEG F. and passed upward through a packed tower and is washed by a stream of ketone-free water passing downward through the tower. The substantially ketone-free gases leave the top of the tower and pass to the fractionation and butadiene extraction steps. The water collecting at the bottom of the tower and containing extracted ketones is continuously removed and may be fed to a stripping tower where the ketones are stripped out by steam. The ketone-free water is returned from the bottom of the stripping tower to the top of the extraction tower. With a rate of flow of gases of the order of 25,000 to 40,000 lb. per hour, a suitable rate of circulation of water through the extraction tower is 30,000 lb. per hour. The ketone impurities removed in this way are chiefly acetone, methyl ethyl ketone and methyl vinyl ketone. The butadiene extraction may be performed in two steps, firstly contacting the C4 fraction with a small amount of the copper ammonium acetate whereby the more soluble acetylenes are removed, and secondly contacting the substantially acetylene-free C4 fraction with a larger amount of copper ammonium acetate to extract the butadienes. A suitable method of carrying out the extraction is described in Specification 779,402. The acetylenes extracted in the first step may be recycled to the dehydrogenation reaction to improve the yield of ketone by-products. Specification 634,580 also is referred to.
