Download or read book Maleic Anhydride Production from Butane - Cost Analysis - MAN E12A written by Intratec and published by Intratec Solutions. This book was released on 2019-09-17 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents a cost analysis of Maleic Anhydride production from butane via partial oxidation. The process examined is similar to Scientific Design process. 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 an aqueous-based recovery system for Maleic Anhydride separation. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): (1) US Patent 6194587 issued to Scientific Design in 2001 (2) "Maleic Anhydride, Maleic Acid, and Fumaric Acid", Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology, 5th edition Keywords: Fixed Bed, Maleic Acid Anhydride, C4 Oxidation, Scientific Design, Aqueous Recovery
