Getting of Benzine from Residues of Methyl-Tret-Butyl ether Production Using Microwave Radiation

Abstract

Benzine getting from used butane-butylene fraction from unit of methyl-tret-butyl ether production through oligomerization is one of ways to increase efficiency and ecological compatibility of process. Usually, the technology of producing oligobenzine is based on the generation of thermal energy required for the oligomerization reaction when burning solid or gaseous fuels in furnaces. Safety and ecological compatibility of this process may be significantly improved with microwave radiation used during reactions. The use of microwave energy will heat only the catalyst, which will be in contact with the butane-butylene fraction., It is possible to estimate the process parameters in the static and dynamic modes by numerically solving a system of equations that mathematically describe oligomerization under the influence of microwave radiation. It is established that the oligomerization process is intensified, and the energy costs are reduced.
