Butenes Economic data

Table 2.31 gives some economic data concerning the production of 1 -butene, hepienes and octenes, by the IFF and UOP processes. 

Table 2.32 provides economic data concerning the production of propylene and n-butenes by the Catofio and Oleilex processes, and the production of long-chain olefins by the Pacol Olex technique. 

Tables 3.10, 3.11 and 3.12 provide economic data on techniques for the selective hydrogenation of butadiene contained in a C4 cut, on the processes for the separation and manufacture of isobutene, and on those relative to the production of n-butenes.

Table 10.9 lists the main economic data available on the production of methyl ethyl ketone from n-butenes, in two steps involving the intermediate formation of secondary butyl alcohol by sulfuric hydration followed by dehydrogenation, or directly by the Wacker/Hoechst technology.
