Abstract

A synthetic technology for the production of methyl-ethyl-ketone (MEK) is introduced, which makes use of butylene catalytic hydration to produce secondary butanol (SBA) and this is followed by dehydrogenation of SBA. By optimizing the operating conditions of a commercial unit, the running results showed that the recommended process was successful and that the catalysts had high activity, good selectivity, and long lifespan, which ensured long-term running in commercial units.
