Title: Pure isobutylene from C/sub 4/ mix

Abstract

This article points out that the ADIB process can isolate and purify isobutylene from a butane-butylene stream such as might be obtained from catalytic and thermal crackers. The process uses the selectivity of the alkylation reaction between isobutylene and phenol. The alkylate product, a liquid that is easily separated from the gaseous feed, is then dealkylated to yield pure isobutylene and the recycle phenol.
