Acetic Anhydride from Acetic Acid and Acetone - Cost Analysis - Acetic Anhydride E21A


Book Description

This report presents a cost analysis of Acetic Anhydride production from acetic acid and acetone. The process examined is carried out in two steps: the pyrolysis of acetone to ketene; and the reaction of ketene with acetic acid to produce Acetic Anhydride. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): Keywords: Ethanoic Anhydride, Ketene Absorption




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


Book Description

This report presents a cost analysis of Acetic Anhydride from acetic acid. In the process, acetic acid is first dehydrated to ketene using triethylphosphate as catalyst in a cracking furnace. Ketene reacts with acetic acid in a series of scrubbers, producing Acetic Anhydride. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): Keywords: Ethanoic Anhydride, Ketene, Wacker Chemie




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. In this process, the carbonylation is promoted by an iodide rhodium liquid catalyst. 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): (1) "Acetic Acid", Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology, 5th edition (2) US Patent 6458996, issued to BP Chemicals in 2002 Keywords: Ethanoic Acid, Monsanto, Iodomethane




Polyoxymethylene from Methanol and Acetic Anhydride - Cost Analysis - POM E21A


Book Description

This report presents a cost analysis of Polyacetal Resins (also known as Polyoxymethylene, POM) production starting from methanol and acetic anhydride. The process examined is a conventional silver-catalyzed process with methanol recycle, combined with one owned by DuPont for producing the POM. In this process, methanol is converted to Formaldehyde (37wt% solution) over a silver catalyst. The formaldehyde (37wt% solution) is concentrated to a purity higher than 99.9wt% by means of two distillation steps and a treatment step. High purity formaldehyde is then polymerized in an inert cyclohexane medium. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): (1) "Formaldehyde", Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology, 5th edition (2) "Acetal Resins", Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology, 5th edition (3) US Patent 2768994, issued to Du Pont in 1956 Keywords: Acetyl resin, polyoxymethylene (POM) resins, polymer of formaldehyde, DuPont, polyformaldehyde, Formalin, silver catalyst, Uhde Inventa Fischer, EMS, formaldehyde solution, incomplete conversion







Vinyl Acetate from Acetic Acid and Acetylene - Cost Analysis - VAM E21A


Book Description

This report presents a cost analysis of Vinyl Acetate Monomer (VAM) from acetic acid and acetylene In the process examined, acetic acid and acetylene react in the vapor phase in the presence of a supported metal catalyst to produce vinyl acetate. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): (1) "Vinyl Esters," Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry, 7th edition (2) US Patent 3415872, issued to Blaw Knox in 1968 Keywords: Ethenyl Acetate, Ethanoic Acid, Acetylene, Wacker







Acetaldehyde Production from Acetic Acid - Cost Analysis - Acetaldehyde E21A


Book Description

This report presents a cost analysis of Acetaldehyde production from acetic acid. The process examined is a typical hydrogenation process. In this process, ethyl acetate is generated as by-product. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): Keywords: Ethanal, Eastman Chemical, Acetic Acid Ethyl Ester

In the process examined, acetic acid and acetylene react in the vapor phase in the presence of a supported metal catalyst to produce vinyl acetate. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): (1) "Vinyl Esters," Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry, 7th edition (2) US Patent 3415872, issued to Blaw Knox in 1968 Keywords: Ethenyl Acetate, Ethanoic Acid, Acetylene, Wacker




Ethyl Acetate Production from Ethanol - Cost Analysis - Ethyl Acetate E21A


Book Description

This report presents a cost analysis of Ethyl Acetate production from ethanol. The process examined is similar to the Johnson Matthey's DAVY ethyl acetate technology. In this process, Ethyl Acetate is produced in a two‐stage reaction: ethanol is dehydrogenated to acetaldehyde, which further reacts with ethanol to form Ethyl Acetate. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): (1) US Patent 6,632,330 issued to Davy Process Technology Limited (2) US Patent 6,809,217 issued to Davy Process Technology Limited Keywords: Dehydrogenation, Ethyl Acetate, EA, DPT, Johnson Matthey
