Abstract
A method for separating and refining 1-butene with a high purity and a high yield from a raffinate-2 stream. The method includes: feeding raffinate-2 to a first distillation column; obtaining heavy raffinate-3 from a lower part of the first distillation column; recovering an upper part fraction containing 1-butene from an upper part of the first distillation column; feeding the upper part fraction containing 1-butene to a second distillation column; recovering a first lower part fraction rich in 1-butene from a lower part of the second distillation column and light raffinate-3 from an upper part of the second distillation column. Heat of the upper part fraction recovered from the upper part of the first distillation column is fed to the lower part of the second distillation column through a first heat exchanger. Thus, 1-butene is obtained with high purity and high yield while maximizing an energy recovery amount by double-effect distillation.
