Methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) and hydrocarbon production method

摘要

A method for producing methyl t-butyl ether (MTBE), which is produced from (A) ethane and / or propane or decomposes a raw material containing this to produce ethylene, and recovers the remaining undecomposed raw material An optional first step comprising: (B) a second step comprising dimerizing ethylene to produce n-butylene; (C) isomerizing said n-butylene to produce isobutylene; A third step comprising: (D) an optional fourth step comprising oxidizing methanol to produce methanol; (E) etherifying isobutylene with methanol to produce methyl t-butyl ether. And (F) a sixth step comprising recovering the methyl t-butyl ether. The method also produces alkylate gasoline, high molecular weight ethylene oligomer, high molecular weight-ethylene-oligomer methyl ether, isomerized high molecular weight ethylene oligomer, or isomerized high molecular weight-ethylene-oligomer methyl ether. Can be used for. [Selection] Figure 1
