production method | exists in the C4 fraction obtained by catalytic cracking of refinery gas and petroleum fraction and cracking of petroleum hydrocarbons. Industrial isomerization is used to obtain the isomerization method. The carbon four extraction liquid is used as the raw material, and in the presence of palladium/alumina catalyst, the isomerization of 1-butene is isomerized to 2-butene, and then distilled to obtain trans-2-butene. From the dehydration of butanol. |
