Abstract

Isobutene is separated from a C4 hydrocarbon mixture by selective absorption in a mixture containing acetic acid and 0.5%-30% by weight of sulphuric acid, separating the non-absorbed hydrocarbons, recovering the isobutene by heating the acid phase to 50 DEG C.-120 DEG C. and recycling the acid to the absorption. Absorption may be effected at 5 DEG C.-85 DEG C. with the hydrocarbons in liquid or gaseous phase, e.g. passing the hydrocarbons countercurrent to the acid. Cooling is necessary as an exothermic reaction occurs. Recovery of the isobutene may be effected in one stage but a purer product is obtained by first neutralising the sulphuric acid with an aqueous base, e.g. an alkali or alkaline earth metal hydroxide or acetate or with a cation exchange resin, before reducing the pressure if this is necessary, heating to 50 DEG C.-120 DEG C. to expel hydrocarbons other than isobutene, and filtering off the sulphate formed, then adding further sulphuric acid, heating to recover the isobutene and recycling the acid mixture.
