2-Butanol - References
| Use | SEC-Butanol is mostly used in the production of methyl ethyl ketone. Also used as a solvent, mineral, herbicides, plasticizers of raw materials. |
| production method | prepared by hydration of butene (1-Butene, cis-2-butene, trans-2-butene). In the production of ethylene from naphtha cracking, the raffinate after the extraction of butadiene from the butane-butene fraction, or the butane-butene fraction from Refinery Refinery gas, the butene was changed to butyl sulfate by absorption with sulfuric acid. Then diluted with water, heating hydrolysis to SEC-butanol, after steam desorption, distillation and the product. Direct hydration may also be used. |
