  • Publication number: 20110300596
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a preparation method for alcohol by reacting carboxylic acid, alcohol, and hydrogen using hydrogenation catalysts. More specifically, the invention relates to a method for preparing alcohol by performing esterification and hydrocracking in a one-step process using hydrogenation catalysts instead of a two-step process. According to the invention, alcohol is prepared from carboxylic acid through esterification and hydrogenation in a one-step process using hydrogenation catalysts. Therefore, production costs and by-product treatment costs can be reduced in comparison to a two-step process. In addition, the invention is effective and economical since it can produce alcohol at relatively high yield by a simple process. Further, the invention allows high yield at relatively lower pressure when compared to alcohol production from carboxylic acid through hydrogenation without esterification and solves the problems of leaching by catalysts.

  • Publication number: 20100137664
    Abstract: 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.
