Butene-1 production by dimerization of ethylene comprising an improved spent catalyst removal section

The process of butene-1 production comprises the steps of: a) sending a inhibited catalyst containing reactor effluent to a flash section where the pressure is decreased by about 0.1 MPa to about 2 MPa, and obtaining a first gaseous phase containing ethylene and butene-1 and a first liquid phase con...

Summary:The process of butene-1 production comprises the steps of: a) sending a inhibited catalyst containing reactor effluent to a flash section where the pressure is decreased by about 0.1 MPa to about 2 MPa, and obtaining a first gaseous phase containing ethylene and butene-1 and a first liquid phase containing the inhibited catalyst; b) sending the first liquid phase from step a) to at least one vaporisation section which allows the separation of a second gaseous phase containing butene-1 and ethylene from a second liquid phase containing the inhibited catalyst; c) sending the second liquid phase from step b) to at least one thin film evaporation section which allows the separation of a third gaseous phase containing ethylene, butene-1 and some other heavier hydrocarbon products from a concentrated inactivated catalyst solution and, d) collecting the first, second and third gaseous phases to form a gaseous reactor effluent substantially free of spent catalyst.
