The present disclosure provides a process for effectively separating and removing by-products (light gas, C5-C6 hydrocarbon oil fraction, polyethylbenzene) contained in a substantial amount in addition to ethylbenzene as a target compound in an alkylation reaction product of a fluidized catalytic cracking off-gas to prepare ethylbenzene having high purity, and process economical efficiency may be secured by utilizing the polyethylbenzene as an absorbent or gasoline fraction, without requiring a transalkylation reaction for further producing ethylbenzene from polyethylbenzene.

Method for recovering ethylbenzene from alkylation product of fluidized catalytic cracking off-gas and benzene

Disclosed is a method of recovering 1,3-butadiene from a C4 stream containing butane, isobutane, 2-butene, 1-butene, isobutene, butadiene and acetylene. The process of recovering highly pure 1,3-butadiene includes acetylene conversion for selectively converting acetylene through liquid-phase hydrogenation, so that the acetylene content is decreased to 70 wt ppm or less, and 1,3-butadiene extraction using an extractive distillation column, a pre-separator, a solvent stripping column, a solvent recovery column, and a purification column. Through the acetylene conversion, the concentration of vinylacetylene is decreased to 70 wt ppm or less, after which 1,3-butadiene is recovered using only one extractive distillation column, thereby considerably decreasing the degree of utility and the loss of streams in the course of extraction. The number of units necessary for the process is decreased, thus remarkably reducing the time during which impurities can accumulate in a processing unit.
