  • Patent number: 11479518
    Abstract: The method of the present invention for producing 1,3-butadiene includes: vaporizing an ethanol feedstock in a vaporizer (104), supplying the feedstock to two or more parallel first reactors (108) to convert ethanol into acetaldehyde in the presence of a first catalyst; supplying a resulting intermediate gas to a second reactor (110) to convert ethanol and acetaldehyde into 1,3-butadiene in the presence of a second catalyst; purifying a resulting crude gas containing 1,3-butadiene by a gas-liquid separator (112), a first distillation column (114), a fourth reactor (116), and a second distillation column (118); and supplying an oxygen-containing gas to at least one of the two or more parallel first reactors (108) under specific conditions, while discharging a carbon dioxide-containing gas from the first reactor (108), to thereby regenerate the first catalyst, while continuing the conversion reaction.
