Abstract
A process in which isobutane (isoparaffins), containing normal butane (normal paraffins), is dehydrogenated, and the principal product, isobutene, (isoolefin) contains some butene-1 and butene-2 (1-olefins and linear internal olefins). This mixture is subjected to a catalyzed etherification reaction with an alcohol to yield tertiaryalkyl ether. Some unreacted butene-1 and butene-2 (linear olefins) appear in the effluent from the ether reacton zone. These detrimentally affect the advantage of recycling that part of the effluent constituted by isobutane (isoparaffin) to the dehydrogenation reactor, because, as they build up in the closed system, undesirable coke lay down on the dehydrogenating catalyst occurs. The undesirable butene-1 is hydroisomerized to butene-2 which is removed from the recycle stream by fractionation.
