Abstract:
A process increasing the yield of both HCN and acetonitrile produced during the manufacture of acrylonitrile comprising introducing a hydrocarbon selected from the group consisting of propylene and propane, a crude ketone and/or a mixture of at least two ketones, ammonia and air, into a reaction zone containing an ammoxidation catalyst, reacting the hydrocarbon, the ketone, ammonia and oxygen over said catalyst at an elevated temperature to produce acrylonitrile, hydrogen cyanide and acetonitrile, and recovering the acrylonitrile, hydrogen cyanide and acetonitrile from the reactor.
Abstract:
High per pass conversions to acrylonitrile and acrylic acid or methacrylonitrile and methacrylic acid and desirable commercial flexibility are realized by reacting propylene or isobutylene with molecular oxygen and about 0.1 to about 0.9 moles of ammonia per mole of olefin in the presence of two catalysts. The first catalyst is an ammoxidation catalyst, and the second catalyst is an oxidation catalyst.
