Butanediol Production from Acetylene - Cost Analysis - Butanediol E31A


Book Description

This report presents a cost analysis of 1,4-Butanediol (BDO) production from acetylene and formaldehyde. The process examined is a typical acetylene-based Reppe process. Acetylene and an aqueous solution of formaldehyde (37 wt%) react to produce 1,4-butynediol. The butynediol is then hydrogenated to produce BDO. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): (1) "Butanediols, Butenediol, and Butynediol", Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry, 7th edition (2) US Patent 7759531, issued to BASF in 2010 Keywords: BDO, Ethyne, Fixed-Bed Reactor, Catalytic Reactor




Vinyl Chloride Production from Acetylene - Cost Analysis - VCM E31A


Book Description

This report presents a cost analysis of Vinyl Chloride production from acetylene and hydrochloric acid. The process examined is a typical acetylene hydrochlorination process. In this process, anhydrous hydrogen chloride is reacted in vapor phase with acetylene over a mercuric chloride catalyst producing Vinyl Chloride. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): (1) "Chlorinated Hydrocarbons", Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry, 7th edition (2) "Vinyl Chloride", Acetylene-Based Chemicals from Coal and Other Natural Resources Keywords: Chloroethene, 1,2-Dichloroethane, Hydrochlorination




Acetaldehyde Production from Acetylene - Cost Analysis - Acetaldehyde E31A


Book Description

This report presents a cost analysis of Acetaldehyde production from acetylene. The process examined is an acetylene hydration technology similar to the one developed by Chisso. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): Keywords: Ethanal, Chisso, Acetylene Hydration
