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 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 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




Maleic Anhydride Production from Butane - Cost Analysis - MAN E11A


Book Description

This report presents a cost analysis of Maleic Anhydride production from butane via partial oxidation process. The process examined is similar to the one owned by Huntsman. In this process, Maleic Anhydride is produced by the partial oxidation reaction of n-butane with oxygen carried out in a fixed-bed reactor. The reactor effluent is sent to a solvent-based recovery system for Maleic Anhydride separation. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): (1) US Patent 4118403 issued to Monsanto in 1978 (assigned to Huntsman in 1994) (2) US Patent 6090245, issued to Huntsman in 2000 Keywords: Fixed Bed, Maleic Acid Anhydride, C4 Oxidation, Huntsman, Monsanto

Vinyl Acetate from Acetic Acid and Ethylene - Cost Analysis - VAM E11A


Book Description

This report presents a cost analysis of Vinyl Acetate Monomer (VAM) from acetic acid and ethylene The process examined is a typical vapor phase oxidation process. In this process, vapor acetic acid, ethylene and oxygen react in a catalytic multi-tube reactor, producing Vinyl Acetate. After separation/purification steps, VAM is obtained as the final product and unreacted ethylene and acetic acid are recycled back to the reactor. 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 9573877, issued to Celanese in 2017 Keywords: Ethenyl Acetate, Ethanoic Acid, Ethene, Oxidation, Vapor Phase, VAM




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

Paracetamol Production from p-Nitrochlorobenzene - Cost Analysis - Paracetamol E11A


Book Description

This report presents a cost analysis of Paracetamol production from 4-nitrochlorobenzene, sodium hydroxide, hydrogen and acetic anhydride. In the process, 4-nitrochlorobenzene reacts with sodium hydroxide producing para nitrol phenol (PNP). The PNP is then subjected to reduction, producing para amino phenol (PAP). The PAP is then acetylated to produce crude Paracetamol, which is further purified. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): (1) US Patent 2008/0045756, issued to Rhodia Chimie in 2008 (2) US Patent 3079435 issued to Abbott Laboratories in 1963 Keywords: Acetaminophen, APAP, Acamol, Abensanil, para Nitrochlorobenzene, PNCB
