ABSTRACT:
A process for separating highly pure butene-2 and butene-1 from a C.sub.4 hydrocarbon fraction containing isobutane, n-butane, butene-1, butene-2, and at least one diolefinic hydrocarbon and/or at least one acetylenic hydrocarbon, which comprises, (1) as a step A, treating the C.sub.4 hydrocarbon fraction with a polar solvent to separate it into an overhead product containing isobutane and n-butane and a bottoms product containing butene-1, butene-2, the diolefinic hydrocarbon and/or the acetylenic hydrocarbon, (2) as a step B, introducing the bottoms product from step A into a first distillation column to obtain a fraction containing butene-1, the olefinic hydrocarbon and/or the acetylenic hydrocarbon and purified butene-2, (3) as a step C, introducing the fraction obtained in step B into a second extractive distillation column and treating it with a polar solvent to separate it into an overhead product containing butene-1 and a bottoms product containing the diolefinic hydrocarbon and/or the acetylenic hydrocarbon, or (2') as a step B, introducing the bottoms product from step A into a second extractive distillation column and treating it with a polar solvent to separate it into an overhead product containing butene-1 and butene-2 and a bottoms product containing the diolefinic hydrocarbon and/or the acetylenic hydrocarbon, (3') as a step C, introducing the overhead product from the step B into a first distillation column to obtain butene-1 and purified butene-2, and (4) as a step D, introducing the overhead product or butene-1 obtained in step C into a second distillation column to remove a tiny amount of water and obtain purified butene-1.
