This report presents a cost analysis of Methionine Hydroxy Analog production from acrolein, methyl mercaptan, and hydrogen cyanide (HCN) The process examined is similar to a process developed by Novus. In this process methional is produced from acrolein and methyl mercaptan. The methional reacts with hydrogen cyanide to produce hydroxy methylthiobutyronitrile (HMBN) intermediate, which is hydrolyzed to Methionine Hydroxy Analog. The product is recovered from the reaction medium via a solvent extraction. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): (1) US Patent 6458997B2, issued to Novus International, Inc. in 2002 (2) US Patent 6320076, issued to Novus International, Inc. in 2001 Keywords: MHA, HMTBA, HMBN, 3-Methylmercapto Propionaldehyde, MMP, Methional, Propenal, Methanethiol, Essential Amino Acid

This report presents a cost analysis of n-Butanol production from propylene and syngas. The process examined is similar to the LP OXO technology jointly developed by JM Davy and Union Carbide, employing Selector 10 catalyst. In this process, the production ratio of n- to iso-butyraldehyde in the oxo reaction is about 10. The isobutyraldehyde is separated as a by-product and the n-butyraldehyde is hydrogenated to form n-Butanol as the final product.
