Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for the separation of C4 olefins and C4 paraffins from a C4 hydrocarbon mixed gas including butene-1, trans-2- butene, cis-2-butene, normal butane, isobutane, etc. The method of the present invention produces C4 olefins with high purity by introducing a gaseous C4 mixture into the adsorption tower loaded with adsorbent selectively adsorbing olefins to adsorb C4 olefins and to discharge C4 paraffins to the outlet of the tower, desorbing C4 olefins adsorbed on the adsorption tower with a desorbent C5 hydrocarbon, C6 hydrocarbon, etc.), and then separating the C4 olefin and the desorbent by a distillation process.
