Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain methyl t-butyl ether in colorless and transparent state, by reacting 4C hydrocarbons especially containing isobutylene with methanol while passing the reaction mixture through an adsorption column packed with activated carbon, etc., and placed at the downstream side of a reactor or a distillation column. CONSTITUTION:Hydrocarbons containing a 3-5C tertiary olefin having a double bond on the tertiary C atom (e.g. isobutylene) and a 1-3C lower alcohol (e.g. methanol) are introduced into a reactor filled with a strongly acidic cation exchange resin and made to react with each other. The obtained reaction mix ture is sent to a distillation column to obtain a tertiary alkyl ether (e.g. methyl t-butyl ether). In the above process, an adsorption column filled with an adsorb ent such as activated carbon, activated clay, etc., is placed at the downstream side of the reactor and/or the distillation column and the whole or a part of the reaction mixture or the tertiary alkyl ether is passed through the adsorption column to effect the adsorption and removal of color-developing substances.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, a method for producing MTBE by reacting a C4 hydrocarbon containing isobutylene with methanol involves supplying a raw material to a fixed bed reactor filled with a cation exchange resin, and draining the resulting reaction mixture. A method is adopted in which MTBE is distilled and separated from the bottom of the column, and C4 hydrocarbons not containing MTBE are distilled from the top of the column.
