METHOD OF PRODUCTION OF THE PURE ISOBUTENE Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC C07C11/09 C07C1/24 

FIELD: chemical industry; methods of production of the pure isobutene out of the isobutene-containing mixture.

SUBSTANCE: the invention is pertaining to the method of production of the pure isobutene out of the isobutene-containing mixture predominantly - out of hydrocarbon С₄ with usage of the catalysis by the strong-acid cationite(s) including the liquid-phase interaction of the isobutene with the water at the temperature of from 60 up to 130°С in one or several sections at the stage of hydration, delamination of the being withdrawn from it stream(s), distillation of the unreacted hydrocarbons С₄ from the hydrocarbon layer, decomposing of the tret-butanol in the section(s) at the stage of dehydration, separation of the formed isobutene from the water and its) purification and characterized by that isobutene and the total amount of the returned from the stage of dehydration fresh water is fed in the section of hydration in the total molar ratio from 1:0.4 up to 1:20, and it is preferential from 1:1 up to 1:5, in the straight-flow or bubbling mode in the absence of the emulsifier hydrate from 30 up to 97 % of isobutene. From the stage of the hydration in the stage of the dehydration at least one-third of the produced tret-butanol is fed in the stream, separated by the rectification from the layer of the unreacted hydrocarbons and containing from 5 up to 30 mass % of the water, and, possibly, the rest amount - in the stream of the water layer, at the total content of the different, than the isobutene, the hydrocarbons not exceeding their admissible quantity in the target isobutene, and from the stage of the dehydration the water at least partially is returned into the stage of the hydration. The presented method requires the low power input and the low metal input.

EFFECT: the invention ensures the low power input and the low metal input.
