MTBE Back-Cracking
Process
Decomposition

Description

The simplest alternative to isolate Isobutene from the refining C4 Streams is through the selective Etherification of Isoprene with Methanol to form MTBE, leaving the other Hydrocarbons unaltered. After separation from the Hydrocarbon Mixture, MTBE can be decomposed into the original Reactants, allowing the Recovery of pure Isobutene.
