Butane-1,4-diol, gamma-butyrolactone or tetrahydrofuran are prepared by vapour phase hydrogenation of a C4-dicarboxylic acid derivative. A maleic anhydride containing vapour stream is contacted in an absorption zone with a first high boiling solvent. A waste gas stream is passed to a scrubbing zone containing a second, higher boiling solvent. The waste gas is purged and the first and second solvents are recovered and recycled. Maleic anhydride is obtained from the absorption zone and converted to a maleic acid diester, which is stripped from the first solvent with hydrogen. The desired products are obtained by hydrogenation.

L'invention porte sur la préparation de butane-1,4-diol, gammabutyrolactone ou de tétrahydrofurane par hydrogénation en phase vapeur d'un dérivé de l'acide C4-dicarboxylique. Pour ce faire, on met en contact dans une zone d'absorption un courant de vapeur chargé d'anhydride maléïque avec un premier solvant à haut point d'ébullition, puis, on fait passer un courant de gaz usés dans une zone de nettoyage contenant un deuxième solvant à haut point d'ébullition. Les gaz usés sont purgés, puis les deux solvants sont récupérés et recyclés. L'acide maléïque prélevé dans la zone d'absorption est alors converti en un diester d'acide maléïque dont on extrait le premier solvant à l'aide d'hydrogène. Les produits désirés sont obtenus par hydrogénation.
