    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing 1,4-butanediol and possibly .gamma.-butyrolactone and tetrahydrofurane by oxidation of butane or benzol into a product flow containing maleic anhydride, absorption of maleic anhydride from the product flow by means of an inert, high-boiling solvent in an absorption stage, which yields a liquid absorption product, and esterification of said liquid absorption product with a C1-C5 esterification alcohol in an esterification step, yielding an esterification product containing the corresponding diester and high-boiling inert solvent. This is followed by hydrogenation of the esterification product, which results in an hydrogenation product containing the products 1,4-butanediol and optionally .gamma.-butyrolactone and tetrahydrofurane as well as the esterification alcohol. The hydrogenation product is separated by distillation into the products and the esterification alcohol and the esterification alcohol is returned to the esterification zone. Prior to hydrogenation the esterification product i s separated by distillation under reduced pressured into the diester and the inert solvent, the inert solvent is returned to the absorption stage and the diester is hydrogenated in the liquid phase on a fixed-bed catalyst.

    Abstract: In a process for the continuous fractional distillation of mixtures comprising tetrahydrofuran, gamma-butyrolactone and/or 1,4-butanediol to give at least three fractions, the fractionation is carried out in an assembly of distillation columns comprising at least one dividing wall column or at least one assembly of thermally coupled conventional distillation columns.

    Abstract: In a process for purifying an organic solvent for the absorption of maleic anhydride from a gaseous mixture, in which the maleic anhydride is separated off from the solvent, a substream is taken from the solvent stream, this substream is distilled and returned to the solvent circuit, the proposed improvement comprises separating off a low-boiling fraction and a high-boiling fraction from the fraction consisting essentially of purified solvent and feeding the fraction consisting essentially of purified solvent back into the solvent stream.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the separation of maleic anhydride from the maleic anhydride-containing reactor offgases from the preparation of maleic anhydride by the oxidation of hydrocarbons, in which this gas stream is brought into contact with a high-boiling, inert absorbent for maleic anhydride and maleic anhydride is separated from the resultant liquid absorbate phase by vapor stripping, where the stripping agent used is an alcohol, and at least some of the maleic anhydride is reacted with the alcohol to give the ester.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for separating maleic anhydride from the maleic anhydride-containing reactor waste gases resulting from maleic anhydride production by hydrocarbon oxidation. According to said method the gas stream is placed into contact with a high-boiling inert absorption agent for maleic anhydride and maleic anhydride is separated from the resulting liquid absorbate phase by steam stripping. An alcohol is used as desorption agent and maleic anhydride at least partly reacts with the alcohol to yield an ester.
