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 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
