- Abstract
- This study was performed to investigate the extractive distillation for 1,3-butadiene (1,3-BD) purification as a part of the 2,3-butanediol (2,3-BDO) dehydration process. The separation of 1,3-BD from 1-butene produced as a 2,3-BDO dehydration by-product while using distillation is complicated due to the similar volatilities of the two compounds. Thus, an extractive distillation system is proposed for the effective recovery of 1,3-BD, and is compared with a conventional distillation system in terms of its performance and economic feasibility. A higher 1,3-BD recovery rate was achieved while using the proposed system and the relative profitabilities of both separation systems were analyzed according to the market price of 1,3-BD, which is a decisive variable for economic feasibility. © 2019 by the authors.
