Abstract
A method of inhibiting the thermopolymerization of isoprene or butadiene in the process of isolation thereof by extractive distillation from a mixture of hydrocarbons obtained in dehydrogenation of isopentane and butane. The method of inhibiting includes, prior to the introduction of said mixture of hydrocarbons and a polar extractant into an extractive distillation metal apparatus, treating the surface of the apparatus with a 1-25% aqueous solution of passivators, viz. nitrites, sulphites or phosphates of alkali metals at a temperature of 20.degree.-100.degree.C. The mixture of hydrocarbons and the polar extractant with an inhibitor of isoprene or butadiene thermopolymerization introduced into the polar extractant are then fed into said apparatus in an amount of 0.01-1% of the extractant weight. The present method makes it possible to reduce markedly the formation of isoprene and butadiene and, hence, to prevent the plugging of the extractive distillation apparatuses with the aforementioned thermopolymers.
