ABSTRACT:
The present invention is an integrated isopropyl alcohol (IPA) and diisopropyl ether (DIPE) process. In this process, IPA, substantially free of DIPE, is formed in a hydration reactor by reacting an olefinic feedstock with water in a hydration reactor. The effluent from the hydration reactor is then contacted in a first separation unit with DIPE which was made in an etherification reactor. The resulting mixture is then passed to a second separation unit to separate the IPA from the DIPE product. The IPA is then fed to the etherification reactor to produce DIPE.
