Sulfuric Acid from Sulfur via Double-Contact Process - Cost Analysis - Sulfuric Acid E11A


Book Description

This report presents a cost analysis of Sulfuric Acid production from sulfur. The process examined is a conventional process comprising sulfur burning followed by a typical double-contact double absorption (DC/DA) process. In this process, sulfur dioxide is obtained by molten sulfur burning. Sulfur dioxide is converted to sulfur trioxide in a reactor. The sulfur trioxide-rich gaseous stream is absorbed in recirculating sulfuric acid. The absorption column offgas is sent to a further bed in the SO2 reactor for converting the remaining sulfur dioxide into sulfur trioxide, which is then absorbed in a second column with recirculating sulfuric acid. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): "Sulfuric Acid and Sulfur Trioxide", Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry, 7th edition Keywords: Sulphuric Acid, Sulphur, Oleum, Fuming Sulfuric Acid, Exothermic Reaction, Catalytic Reaction, Double-Contact Double Absorption, DC/DA

Ethyl Acetate Production from Ethylene and Acid Acetic - Cost Analysis - Ethyl Acetate E31A


Book Description

This report presents a cost analysis of Ethyl Acetate production from ethylene and acetic acid. In this process, ethyl acetate is produced via a direct addition reaction of acetic acid to ethylene. The process under analysis is similar to two processes developed independently: the AVADA process, owned by INEOS and formerly owned by BP, and Showa Denko's Direct Addition Process. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): US Patent 6,794,535 issued to BP Chemicals Limited Keywords: AVADA, Ethyl Acetate, EA, BP




Acetic Acid Production from Acetaldehyde - Cost Analysis - Acetic Acid E11A


Book Description

This report presents a cost analysis of Acetic Acid production from acetaldehyde and oxygen The process examined is a typical liquid-phase oxidation process. In this process, the oxidation occurs with manganous acetate as catalyst. Unreacted acetaldehyde is condensed and recycled back to the reactor. The liquid product is sent to a set of distillation columns to recover the Acetic Acid. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): Keywords: Ethanoic Acid, Ethanal, Oxidation Reaction, Liquid-Phase Oxidation, Air




Acetic Acid Production from Methanol - Cost Analysis - Acetic Acid E21A


Book Description

This report presents a cost analysis of Acetic Acid production from methanol and carbon monoxide The process examined is a typical carbonylation process.
