Abstract:
An object of the present invention is to provide a technology which can suppress the blockage and abrasion of pipes and devices caused by the production of by-products and stably synthesize acrolein at a high yield, under a condition in which energy efficiency is improved by an elevated concentration of glycerol in a reaction liquid, in a process for synthesis of acrolein by reacting supercritical water and an acid with glycerol. An embodiment of the present invention includes: setting a concentration of glycerol in the reaction liquid at 30% by weight or lower; also cooling the reaction liquid to a temperature between a temperature (300° C. or lower) at which the reaction stops and a temperature (100° C. or higher) at which tar contained in the reaction liquid can keep a state in which its viscosity is sufficiently low; then separating and removing carbon particles from the reaction liquid; subsequently cooling the reaction liquid to a temperature which is a boiling point of water or lower and at which the tar component in the reaction liquid does not adhere to devices; and then decompressing the cooled reaction liquid.
Abstract:
An object of the present invention is to provide an industrially applicable method for producing acrolein via treatment with supercritical water from glycerin obtained as a by-product during the process of biodiesel fuel production from waste animal/plant fat or oil with the use of an alkali catalyst.The present invention provides a method for producing acrolein, which comprises: a determination step of determining the hydrogen ion concentration in glycerin obtained as a by-product; an acid addition step of adding to the glycerin an acid at an amount calculated based on the results of the determination step so as to make the glycerin acidic; and a supercritical water treatment step of allowing supercritical water to act on the glycerin after the acid addition so as to produce acrolein from the glycerin.
Abstract:
Apparatus and methods are provided for converting methane in a feed stream to acetylene. A hydrocarbon stream is introduced into a supersonic reactor and pyrolyzed to convert at least a portion of the methane to acetylene. The reactor effluent stream may be treated to convert acetylene to another hydrocarbon process.
