Abstract

Provided is a device for preparing butadiene. The device includes an oxidative dehydrogenation reaction part, in which oxidative dehydrogenation of reaction raw materials containing butene, oxygen (O 2 ), steam, and a diluent gas is performed to obtain oxidative dehydrogenation reaction products containing butadiene; a cooling separation part for removing water from the reaction products; a condensation separation part for condensing hydrocarbons from the reaction products from which water is removed; an absorption separation part for recovering all hydrocarbons from the reaction products containing hydrocarbons not condensed in the condensation separation part; and a purification part for separating butadiene from crude hydrocarbons condensed in the condensation separation part, wherein n-butane remaining after butadiene is separated in the purification part is fed again into the oxidative dehydrogenation reaction part. The device can provide high-purity butadiene while reducing energy consumption and raw material and production costs, thereby improving economic efficiency of processes.

Claims (19)

1. A device for preparing butadiene, comprising:

an oxidative dehydrogenation reaction part, in which oxidative dehydrogenation of reaction raw materials containing butene, oxygen (O 2 ), steam, and butane as a diluent gas is performed to obtain oxidative dehydrogenation reaction products containing butadiene, water, n-butane, butene, CO x , and O 2 ;

a cooling separation part responsible for removing the water from the oxidative dehydrogenation reaction products;

a condensation separation part responsible for condensing hydrocarbons from the oxidative dehydrogenation reaction products, from which the water is removed;

an absorption separation part responsible for recovering all hydrocarbons from the oxidative dehydrogenation reaction products containing hydrocarbons not condensed in the condensation separation part; and

a purification part responsible for separating the butadiene from crude hydrocarbons comprising the n-butane, the butene, and the butadiene condensed in the condensation separation part, and separating the butadiene from crude hydrocarbons comprising the n-butane, the butene, and the butadiene, excluding the CO x , and the O 2 , which are recovered in the absorption separation part,

wherein the n-butane remaining after the butadiene is separated in the purification part is fed again into the oxidative dehydrogenation reaction part.

2. The device according to claim 1 , further comprising a discharge stream responsible for feeding the crude hydrocarbons comprising the n-butane, the butene, and the butadiene, which are recovered in the absorption separation part, into the purification part.

3. The device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a solvent recovery part responsible for recovering a solvent from a discharge stream containing hydrocarbons comprising the n-butane, the butene, and the butadiene, which are recovered in the absorption separation part; and a discharge stream responsible for refeeding the solvent recovered in the solvent recovery part into the absorption separation part.

4. The device according to claim 3 , further comprising a degasification part responsible for separating the CO x and the O 2 from hydrocarbons comprising the n-butane, the butene, and the butadiene, which are recovered in the solvent recovery part.

5. The device according to claim 4 , further comprising a discharge stream responsible for feeding the CO x and the O 2 separated in the degasification part into the absorption separation part.

6. The device according to claim 4 , further comprising a discharge stream responsible for feeding the CO x and the O 2 separated in the degasification part into the condensation system.

7. The device according to claim 5 , further comprising:

a high-boiling point material removal part responsible for removing high-boiling point materials from crude hydrocarbons comprising the n-butane, the butene, the butadiene, and high-boiling point materials, excluding the CO x and the O 2 , which are separated in the degasification part; and

a discharge stream responsible for feeding crude hydrocarbons comprising the n-butane, the butene, and the butadiene, which are separated in the high-boiling point material removal part, into the purification part.

8. The device according to claim 6 , further comprising:

a high-boiling point material removal part responsible for removing high-boiling point materials from crude hydrocarbons comprising the n-butane, the butene, the butadiene, and high-boiling point materials, excluding the CO x and the O 2 , which are separated in the degasification part; and

a discharge stream responsible for feeding crude hydrocarbons comprising the n-butane, the butene, and the butadiene, which are separated in the high-boiling point material removal part, into the purification part.
