Book Description
This report presents a cost analysis of Adiponitrile production from butadiene and hydrogen cyanide. In the process examined, adiponitrile is generated by the two-stage hydrocyanation of butadiene. The reaction product is treated for catalyst reovery and subsequently distilled for obtaining high-purity adiponitrile, suitable for hexamethylenediamine production. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): Keywords: HMDA, DuPont, Hydrocyanation
